I have been happily streaming from E1 and E2 boxes for years now.
With varying results.... depending on stream.
I used to stream to a windows machines, both wired and wireless using a wireless G protocol.
Generally happy with the results.
I have since moved to a Apple MacBook Pro (current model) and use a Vu+ Ultimo.
Which has added a DVB-T tuner to the mix of things to stream.
I have been streaming both DVB-S SD and HD and DVB-T SD and HD streams with varying success
Once again, still using the g wireless and 10/100 wired network.
Both DVB-S and DVB-T seem to stream fine in SD
DVB-S and DVB-T stream HD fine if i am close to the wifi G access point and degrade as i move away (8 meters will do it...)
So bought a new Wifi router that does both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, is WiFi N, and has a 4 port 10/100/1000 LAN... connected everything up and expected better results.
Thinking it was the speed of the G access point that was letting things down.
MacBook Pro has 5Ghz, so i connect to the router with that
There has been a small improvement, but HD streams still fail to load and play when more than 7 meters away from the router. I dont live in a brick house, just timber and plaster.
I can have more success by connecting the stream whilst next to the router, then walking away... for some reason, it just works better this way??
But after a while, the stream will break down and jog or stop completely.
The worst of all these streams is the HD from DVB-T... its a 1080i signal.... but so is the HD from the DVB-S....
I really thought getting a gigabyte LAN and Wireless N router would fix my issues, but it seems the issues are more or less, the same...
Vu+ Ultimo (Blackhole 1.7.6)
MacBook Pro (using iDreamX and VLC)
Gigabyte LAN and Wireless N at 5Ghz
Any ideas? I can change the Stream quality in iDreamx, which does have some difference, low quality will connect and play faster.
Many Thanks
