Hi guys
All I want is a 10" screen in our very small kitchen, displaying
simultaneously the output of the Sky box, but....
1) A wireless HDMI sender & receiver is small enough but 10" HDMI monitors
are VERY expensive (twice the price of 17") and far lower resolution than a
cheap 10" Android tablet, also half the price. They are mostly intended for
"the back of the seat in front" and I'm astonished the airlines and
railways are paying so much for such poor quality.
2) Sky-Go received on a 10" tablet is 2 to 6 mins delayed behind the
satelite version and one expects to pop in and out of the kitchen without
missing anything. Also, while Joanna Lumley is usually a truthful person,
many channels are sold to Sky by other piracy-paranoia-prone companies on
condition they're not included in Sky-Go. That includes BBC whose own
streaming is also delayed and incompatible with Android.
3) Streaming broadcasting devices are extremely hard to search for with the
huge predominance of devices with the reverse functionality. The few
offered are mostly in TV studio catalogs, e.g. the LiveStream Broacaster
?250, and I've only found two domestic ones, Vukano Flow ?120, Slingbox
?160.
So, my questions are
1) Have any of you got experience of these devices which you could share?
2) If I used my old PB Dot2 netbook with a broken screen, already used
occasionally as a server, what is the best streaming-out software and what
is the best HDMI-in, USB-out adaptor, preferably with HDMI-out too, i.e.
including a "active splitter" because passive splitters can only handle one
HDMI receiver at a time?
Also, would frame-adaptation of 720p TV for streaming be too
processor-intensive for the PB Dot2, which is dual-core 64bit with an SSD
but only 1GB RAM ?
TIA
Mike

Theoretically, you could do this with a DVB-S(2) tuner card installed in a
machine running a MythTV backend, then use a netbook running the MythTV
frontend or an Android tablet running the MythTV app in the kitchen.
However, from the MythTV list:
"Sky UK are among the most CAM hostile providers in the world, there is no
legitimate, supported way to get Sky UK directly into MythTV or any other PC
PVR software for that matter. you could rig up something with a Sky box
analog out and an encoder card but read a few of the threads here about that
before you get into that approach, IMO far too complicated, trouble prone
and at best picture quality will be questionable. "

BBC incompatible with Android???
BBC Iplayer works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone! And the screen at
a comfortable hand-held distance is the same angle of view a my 32"
Panasonic TV at 12 feet! Very handy for missed programmes!

Yes, Dave, the iplayer app also works perfectly on my Nexus4 (LG) and
Nexus7 (Asus) but that's not seeing the live stream while you're in the
kitchen.
At least BBC "Watch Live" is only 10-30 secs delayed (compared to Sky, more
to DTV) but it requires Adobe Flash, for which, AFICS, only "illegal"
substitutes are available for Android, due to Google's spat with Adobe.

I have 2 identical servers with hotswap drives. Having got one configured
(Debian Jessie) and running I want to put one of the drives into the 2nd
server. To do so I presumably need to install GRUB on the drive in the new
server as GRUB isn't RAIDed (using mdadm). Am I correct?
And to do this do I boot from CD and just install GRUB?
I also know I need to delete a file somewhere that has the MAC addresses -
can't remember the file, any clues?
Cheers,
Martin.
