Stream TV with a DVR, iChat USB CAM and iChat AV
I was initially turned on to this idea by Andy Ihnatko in the June '04 issue of MacWorld. I did it with my TiVo, allowing me to watch any of it's recorded shows (or live TV) from anywhere that I have broadband.
Backwards Signal?
I don't have an EyeTV or Alchemy card, but I do have a DV-AV converter in my canon camcorder that i can use. So I connected my VCR to the camera and the camera to the computer via firewire. Everything works great except the picture is backwards. On the receiving end it looks fine, just on my machine it is backwards. Weird???
Backwards Signal?
iChat does that. I was sure there was an option to turn the video back round the right way but when I looked in iChat I couldn't find it.

when video conferencing, it can be handy to have a mirror image of yourself. when you move your head left, your head moves left on your display... it just makes sense. apple obviously didn't intend for iChat to be used in this manner.

You can do this just as easily (or probably more easily) with Firewire. Just hook up a camcorder with passthrough or use a A/D box such as the Canopus to connect your TV to firewire. |
