What is the best software for streaming HD videos to a Internet TV?


Question

Can anyone please tell me what the best software is to stream HD videos (720p/1080p) from my PC to an Internet TV??

I have tried many variations but I haven't found one that give's good quality output to my TV

I've tried TVersity to my Xbox 360 & direct to my TV (quality not bad but not brilliant)

I've tried PS3 Media Server to my Xbox 360 & direct to my TV (quality not bad but not brilliant)

I've also tried the Samsung PC Share Manager (TV is a Samsung LED 7020) - (The best quality of all of them, but still not brilliant)

I have a BT Infinity network connection.................. (I know the quality will be dependent on my network speed)

Thanks in advance

I can only really speak on PS3 media Server since that is what I use, but what do you mean by quality is not bad but not brilliant? The quality should be whatever the source files are that you are streaming. Unless you mean the quality of the actual streaming itself, and if that is the case as you said that would depend on your network connection.

+1 to this. Have you adjusted settings at all? I recently streamed a 720p video from pc to ps3 via media server and the video quality was near perfect. Are you using wifi or are both pc/ps3 on the same network?

Thanks for your reply........... (both on WIFI)

Would you be able to provide a list of settings that I would need to change? (to get the best quality)

Thanks again

All of my video settings are set to default with the most recent version, only settings i adjusted were audio. I will say this though, streaming 720p/1080p via wireless was very difficult for me with G speeds(router was only 60-75ft from laptop and ps3 was plugged directly to router), not sure if N can handle the bandwidth - what kind of wifi transfer speeds do you get?

I think WiFi is the culprit. Can you try it wired and report back or is that not a possibility?
