Hi all,

though I have not been very active (read: zero) lately (read: past year or two) and had to sell the CRT (read: moved and now due to lack of space need a d-d-d-d- ... flashlight), I'm hoping for some help from one of you guys down under.

If anyone has an HTPC - ideally with terrestrial reception - and some internet upstream left to stream some TV via VLC for half an hour or so, please PM me.

Thanks,
joar

Hmmm, leave it with me mate, how much upstream bandwith do you think youll require? A good mate of mine has the gear to do this, just a matter of whether or not he has it in a computer at the moment.

I may take a couple days or even more to find out, so someone else may be able to help you before i do.

Im in Queensland.

Thanks for the replies. Actually, for testing I don't need to stream at full data rate. So, a couple hundred kbit upstream should be enough.
