Streaming to BB playbook via HD Homerun - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Jakeman3 · 2012-03-25, 12:13 PM

I've done some research myself and can't seem to find anything..
Does anyone know of any app that would allow the BB Playbook to receive streaming from the HD Homerun? Maybe a SageTV android app or something..
I couldn't find anything... Anyone have any idea's?

I'm not familiar with BB but you could look at NextPVR. It can stream to android , iphone and jailbroken ipad. It has VLC intergrated to it's NEWA(New Enhanced Web Administrator) feature. If you can get VLC on your BB you should be able to recieve a stream but it won't be full HD cuz 1/2 hr of HDTV is 3-4gigs and VLC streams that down to 50mb. Or it may be possible to set your BB up as a client on your LAN. I just checked npvr support and yes you can use NEWA with BB curve and opera, maybe playbook as well.
