| The latest firmeware update (1.8 ) enables PS3 to play streamed media files with DLNA. Any idea if HDHR can be used as a server in this setup? |

Supposedly MythTV's UPnP server can stream music and SD shows to the PS3 from what I have read. I am trying to get my friend to bring his over to test.
Other than that the only other thing so far to support it I have heard of is TwonkyVision. |

| Hmm. I was thinking more in the line of streaming directly to PS3 from HDHR. I guess it's too much code to stuff into the device? |

I suppose it is quite possible, I know the HDHR does do some UPNP and at least reports it's IP address as it always shows up in my utorrent log when it scans for UPNP devices.
Another option would be to install linux on the PS3 and run mythtv on it. |

I wrote to the manufacturer:

Hi,
The playstation 3 is not one of the supported platforms.
I will raise the question of future PS3 support internally.

Hello, I can play all HD Homerun files on my PS3 but with no sound?
Anyone successfully playing these files?
Thanks, |

| The PS3 doesn't not support AC3 sound in MPEG2 transport streams. You need to convert the file to a program stream to get sound. |

| VideoRedo, HDTVtoMPEG2 (free), VirtualdubMOD and many other tools do. |

|
|
I have been considering building a HTPC for ATSC DVR and Blu-Ray playing use, but if the PS3 could use the HD Homerun to make a DVR I'd buy that combination in a second.
I know it's possible, but is there communications between the companies, enough to make it happen!? |

With regular MPEG2 Transport streams (as transmitted by ATSC), 2.42 crashes, and only one in five of the streams I tested had the previous behavior of playing video, but no audio. The other four now crash the PS3 video player. I have not tried to remux the MPEG2-TS into Blu-Ray .m2ts files (they have an additional 4 bytes per 188 byte packet that encodes delivery time information) and try those to see if those work. |

That's what I convert to when I want to watch something via the PS3. Works okay so far. |

You can quickly convert streams so they will play with sound (in sync too) on the PS3. The tool is called ProjectX. It is multi-platform and should work on most platforms since it is Java based. Check it out at http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x . I run it like so on Linux and it converts the stream to a program stream with audio intact without transcoding:
java -jar ProjectX.jar -tom2p some.mpg
Note you will need a Java JDK to compile the ProjectX source and then to run the ProjectX jar file. |
