Watch TV with your tablet

With the Tablet TV movies (for example when cooking or craft room) was the core task. DVB-T is here a bit thin, Cable I - that this thing has been tried. This box can be operated in two modes - as wirelessly to the home network (client) or as a WLAN Access Point. I use the second mode.

Negatives:
* The decor was not easy, I had to manually "pure" and only find out which IP the Web-based Fritz software is currently available for this access point. Google herausgespuckt hats, the accompanying information were not sufficient and the approach was not working. It may be easier with a Fritz box as a router, have something else in use.

* The app is not mature at Androidboxen 100%. In my little CX921 TV Box with Ethernet connection is alleged that the wireless was not on. True, but a network connection has the thing. Since my Sumsang TV has only one tuner, I still wanted to look at the big screen another program at a current recording through the local IPTV and just can not.

Neutral:
* It is at least 1.5 megabytes wirelessly / s data rate needed to see "SD" TV. The box sends the raw MPEG-1 data stream from the cable to the local network, which requires a high data rate. Who can not guarantee this, for example by concrete slabs, distance or simply "full band with other wireless networks" that has little joy.

Positives:
* With a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 I can be anywhere in the apartment now television. However, a good "N" standard in the 2.4 GHz band is required, with only "G" range definitely does not work. In densely populated areas it is necessary to watch whether 2.4 GHz ranges. Has the image repeatedly misfires it is up to too low a wireless data rate. The 5 GHz band can not each tablet, but there is much more space - which allows the addition, lower occupancy higher data rates despite lower field strengths.

* Operate the thing in "Bridge" mode. My old router could not 5GHz band and the 2.4 GHz "N" standard that was also unknown. Using a LAN cable connected to the router, I can use this box as an access point for the 5 GHz band and have finally "N" speed in the 2.4 GHz band instead of just "G". Especially in densely populated regions brings the speed, since "N" allows a higher data rate at the same bandwidth and 5GHz is pretty empty.

Small deductions thus in the B-note, not a "must have", but still a nice toy.

PS: You can also on the PC using the VLC Playerns TV movies, only need to export and edit the playlist. Current Playlist (.m3u) can be edited with Notepad and rearranged.
