A client of mine that owns and operates a "poker room" had an interesting request recently
Here is the situation
-He has 3 tvs mounted on a wall, all are networked via cat5 back to a d-link wireless router (model dir-655).
-he has an account with a website called twinspires.com.
-Twinspires is a website that allows online wagering for horse races going on across the US, maybe in other countries as well, not sure, didn't research the site that thoroughly.
-The site allows you to watch the races live via flash player. you can choose from a list of tracks, races, etc and you watch a streaming live feed.
-My client wants to take that streaming feed, and stream it to the 3 tvs over the network.
TVs are samsung 32" LED with the allshare software, i can stream video files from a computer hard drive to the tv via the network, but can't seem to find a way to stream video from the net to the tv, over the network.
do i need to use something like a slingbox to do this? i want to be able to stream different races to the tvs simultaneously, 1 on each tv.
if it is a sling box (or boxee box) i need, do i need one for each tv? aany help is appreciated immensely
if you need more info please ask
