Re: TV on a Laptop?

said by benc:

If this means using a mobile as a method to show TV on your laptop, then I don't see what's so bad. After all, even the smallest laptop screens are much larger than the screens on mobiles.

However, if all you can do is watch TV on that tiny 2-3" screen, then there's little to no point at all.
It wouldn't look very good on a laptop screen. The individual channels don't have a high enough bit rate.

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.

I didn't think of that, but you're right.

To get a good enough bit rate you'd need lots of speed, which isn't available on mobile networks.

I guess TV through a mobile really is almost useless.

The problem is that if you have better quality, then the mobile phone's battery consumption becomes too high- this is why they can't just use existing OTA signals.
