Ipaq TV on the air :-)

Firstly, please wish Dawn’s Mom well, see here for more info.

No Thursday Thirteen this week, although I have one planned … Not got my 13 myths to put in my 13 myths just yet, working on it 🙂

Ipaq TV is on the air, which means I’ve been successful in :

Hooking up webcam to laptop – trivial 🙂
Getting the streaming video thing going – almost trivial
(issues with getting the software from Microsoft)
Ipaq connected to network – hassle … grr … wifi … grr
Ipaq looking at video stream – sorted 🙂

I probably won’t go for the 100% solution, which would be to make it available via the internet, I don’t have a use for that plus I’d have to hook it up via my desktop, which isn’t exactly reliable …

Just one slight problem, which might put a downer on using IpaqTV to fix the Skydish … I was testing it while watching a Dresden Files episode. The image came up ok but when I waved at the camera, nothing happened. And then I start hearing voices … I’m not going nuts, it was Dresden Files voices. I listened a little harder and realised – “they said that a minute ago !”

And you’ve probably just realised what the problem might be 😉 (need to tinker with da buffers)
