When i play beyondtv link the picture looks horrible not very clear. Is there a way to make it better. Also i get a lot of stuttering on a wireless lan. Is there anyone else running wireless and using beyond tv link to watch movies with no problem

Re: Beyondtv Link

Live TV, recordings, or both. Have you tried different decoders ?

Re: Beyondtv Link

Are you running WEP or WPA on your network? Suggest you try with no wireless security just to see if anything changes. I've seen similar issues go away with MediaMVP once I removed encryption based security.

There are two snapstream decoders. SS Basic and SP. I'm guessing that you are currently using SP. Try basic. Also, do you have other decorders on your system ? A lot of people use Nvidia decoders.

Re: Beyondtv Link

I've seen some posts with success using wireless G. Most people try to hardwire if possible.

Re: Beyondtv Link

It's not just that it is better. I'm just not sure that current wireless can support streaming at high quality Mpeg. Have you tried using a lower recording quality ? It won't look as good, but it might not stutter. Also, see post 18 in this thread - a couple of creative ideas for running wires:
