Live streaming to my PC

[sparkygroover]

How can I stream from my cable receiver to my own pc then on to another pc in another location....i.e another country?

You can't legally, in most cases. What are you trying to stream?

Well dont want to name the channel for legal reasons but is it physically possible to stream as stated above?

You want something like a Slingbox.

Edit: And so far the courts have said the Slingbox is legal. Aereo was shot down because it owned the TV receiving equipment and rented it to you. With a Slingbox, you own the receiving equipment, connect it to a cable TV receiver you're (presumably) paying for. And you own the receiving device. So you own and pay for all the components, and are simply place-shifting.

Technically, yes. However, we can't help you bypass legal restrictions. What you do with a media server that you may set up is up to you.

This is a true legal issue area, especially when crossing international boundaries. I can almost guarantee you that your cable provider would see this as a foul. I would imagine that you signed an agreement to not share content when you signed up for service. Be careful here.

Closing this thread for obvious reasons. Thanks.
