Watch BTV (live TV or recordings) Real Time on PSP!!!


Imagine if you can watch BTV on PSP real time anywhere in the world.

I think I just found a brilliant way to achieve this. Here's the solution

BTV + LocationFree(LFPK1) + PSP + Streamzap IR receiver + Girder

Sony's LocationFree allows TV or VCR to stream to PSP wirelessly. The problem with streaming BTV is that the LocationFree base did not have any method to control the PC remotely. Specifically, the built-in remote codes for the base do not cover any PC remote controls. Correct me if I'm wrong. (The new versions LFB10 and LFB20 can learn IR codes but I have LFPK1 without learning capability.)

Luckily I use streamzap RC to control my PC and BTV. Of course, LocationFree base is not compatible with streamzap. But I found a clever work around. I found that the streamzap IR receiver blinks whenever I press my universal RC. So it must recognize the signal but does not pass it to the PC. So I did some research.

It turns out the streamzap IR receiver (not the RC) can receive and remap signals from any remote control using Girder 4.0 + streamzap driver 2.9.7 + streamzap plugin. Theoretically, I can use my TIVO RC to control BTV using the IR receiver. I just need to remap TIVO's signals to BTV keys using Girder.

After configuring Girder to accept TIVO RC codes, I can setup the LocationFree base remote control for TIVO. LocationFree may think it's controlling TIVO but in fact, it will be controlling my PC and hence I should be able to watch BTV real time.

Why not get the new locationfree with learning RC? The older version LFPK1 can be bought for $60 on ebay, whereas the newer version LFB10 sells for $200. The older version even has built in cable TV tuner. (Well it's a moot point once BTV works.)

My locationfree unit will arrive next week. I will see whether my theory holds.

Sounds interesting...
