Does anyone here use his PS3 to watch streaming web videos? I was trying to watch the 24H of Nurburgring this weekend and I could only find two sites; one was Audi and one through Radio LeMans. The Audi one was pristine streaming, but, alas, all in German and I don't speak German. Ended up watching the RLM one, but the video was very choppy. The web-browser in PS3, well, sucks. Very difficult to navigate and takes forever to load a page.

I would like to watch the 24H du Mans this June the same way, but hopefully better quality. I am already linked by ethernet, and cleared my cache, etc., and like I said, the Audi stuff was perfect. Any suggestions? Anyone know any good sites (Anglais, S'il vous plaît) through which to stream race videos? I could watch on my computer but it's the difference between 13" and 42".

Please answer by June 16.:)
 
TVersity is pretty good about that, but you'll need a decent computer and a decent wireless signal to get it not to buffer. I use my media center to stream HD videos from my computer to my PS3 - an easier option might be a Roku; not very expensive, and the higher end ones do 1080p via HDMI.

Also - you have to take into account that the signal you are streaming may be choppy on anything - in which case there isn't anything you can do about that...
 
If I were in your position (and I have been), I'd just work out what connectors are necessary to hook a computer up to the TV. If it's one long web feed you (hopefully) won't need to interfere with it much, but it does mean you can't use your computer I suppose. That would be the cheapest and best option otherwise, though, because a DVI-HDMI cable or adaptor is dirt cheap (I got a 2m cable for £5 and it's perfect) and the websites that do the streaming are designed to work on a PC anyway.

If that's not an option, I don't know what else you could do. Someone will, though.

Click to expand...

(facepalm) Brilliantly obvious! And stupid me even had the cables here. :dunce: I guess the best solution is usually the simplest...

Thanks Neema
