Wow, this thread is huge. Hoping I can get some tips on the best way to stream HD around the house to my iPad. I have everything working fine with the infiniTV 4. I am streaming to 2 XBox extenders in HD just fine. I also installed the XBMC plugin on a couple of Macs around the house - those stream HD fine, and give me the nice guide interface. My issue is that I can't figure out what the best way to stream HD to my iPad is. I have a jailbroken iPad 3 (retina). I can use the mobile / http streaming via the /m/iphone.html URL, and it works - but it won't reliably stream HD. I have to set the resolution / quality down to get it to stream without stuttering. On the other hand, I have XBMC and the plugin installed on the same iPad. Streaming through XBMC, I get a direct HD stream (over my same wifi) and it runs almost perfectly. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get the guide to come up - my only option is to 2-finger click, quit the plugin, manually change the channel in the add-on settings, and re-launch. I'd love to just use the XBMC interface, but without the guide, it's really cumbersome. Any tips? What are other folks doing?
Also, is there any way to access the recordings on the host PC other than through the XBox extender?
