I know that Internet service will be little to none. I just thought there would be more info about people setting up a LAN or plexi servers. I'm thinking about installing Samsung tvs so I can view downloaded content via WiFi direct.

I have a wireless LAN in my motorhome. But like Bill said, so far the places I've been have horrific bandwidth. Zero chance of streaming anything.

Now, if I'm camping in my driveway, then I can get pretty good thruput. :)


There's no way I'd hotspot enable things either. Overages on my ATT bill would be insane. I'd blow thru my 20G plan in a few days.


So, I'm curious too. When you say you're going to stream everything -- how?

Yeah I don't have unlimited data. I was wanting to just have a multi-room setup playing simultaneously like Sonos essentially but with also video. I have 3 different ways so far of playing video that I had in mind.

1) Blu-ray player with split hdmi to play same video
2) Network hard drive to play downloaded content
3) Setup a wifi direct connection to play video from phone or tablet (You can download your movies from Vudu/Google/Disney apps for play back later features)

The hard part is figuring out if the wireless hdmi will sync the audio and video in multiple rooms since I've never used it. I'm going to take it to a place to remove the carpet and replace with laminate and maybe take that opportunity to run something in the subfloor. I really want a central vac now too.
