Wireless t.v. tuner signal?

Okay people, put your thinking caps on. I have a "wireless g" laptop, and an
external Hauppauge WinTV USB2 tuner.
The tuner works great through the cable. I would like to be able to transmit
the signal from the tuner wirelessly to the laptop. Bluetooth won't do it.
First person to come up with a solution gets my undying gratitiude and free
tickets to the Rolling Stones Centennial Tour, (when it happens, and I'm
sure it will). Have tried going through desktop via Windows Encoder 9, with
properly installed codecs, but just won't initiate on desktop......Thanks:
Jim

Laptop is Compaq Presario R3440CA
bluetooth
firewire

Downgrade. Windoze Media Encoder 9 is a resource hog. Running it on
anything less than the fastest hardware, with lots of RAM, is a waste
of time. However, Windoze Media Encoder 7.1 is still available and
works well enough.

However, if you're thinking of streaming full screen video in real
time at 30fps, you're also going to need some horsepower on the
receiving end. Try running it over 100baseTX wired ethernet before
you attack the wireless part of the puzzle.

Athelon 64/3000+ 512MB. No clue on the video chipset or performance.
Probably ok.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't think about Encoder 7.1. I'll give it a
whirl....Let you know.

Hi,

Hope I am understanding you right and correct me if I am wrong, you want to
beam TV signals to your laptop via wireless to your tv tuner.

If so I would use a Wireless AV Sender:

(Cut and Paste the link)
The only drawback is that the transmitter and your wireless card will clash
as
they both use 2.4Ghz (the transmitter really blasts it out). Therefore
while receiving/sending TV you will have to temporarily disable radio on
your wireless card on your laptop. If your microwave is running there will
be heaps of crackling sound and fuzzy video.

You can also switch the transmitter and receiver so that you can play
downloaded movies to your tv from your laptop. I use software called TVTool
for that.

Hope this helps

Cheers
