How can I get TV on my Pocket PC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I've got Fujitsu Siemenns Loox 420.
It's got WiFi.
I can surf the net using my wireless network.

I wanted to know how I could watch TV off a TV card, or watch a movie being
played on another PC?

I'm not sure how I would get the media stream setup and am not sure how I
would be able to pick it up from the Pocket PC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have used ms IM to send video from my TV card to another PC on my LAN.
I guess it would work over any network .

Good fun but not sure if its the best way.

Unfortunately the latest version of Beyond tv 3 doesn't have the great
streaming ability as the previous version(3.4) had.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this.

In MS IM, you can select a video source for use when you do a video
conference. I just select my TV card as the video source. Works OK, probably
not the best way to send TV pictures..!
