There's lots of activity when I type keywords, video conference distance learning, but nothing at the no budget level, yet. Seems like there's going to be a server/client network description someplace. The server most likely has to have a way to manage connections/cam screens, so what is that, distance learning dashboard, or something? I'm also thinking there may be requirement for specialized video card/tuner card capability for handling video feeds into the server. Does that make sense?

OK, I officially don't get it.

At the beginning of the thread you started talking about the Nanostation2 and, I believe, for some reason lumped it in with TV. Nanostation2 is an 802.11bg CPE. 802.11 is the wireless standard used by all wireless access points. There is no correlation with broadcast TV.

If you want to "stream video" (not the same as broadcast TV) and your source is a video camera then you may need a video capture card that feeds the streaming software. I've not done this in quite some time....but I think I remember feeding my TV card to mplayer and streaming it to my friend in his office so he could watch baseball games. Now, I just use a slingbox as all I need is one-to-one.

So, I'm really not sure of what you are wanting since I believe you have intertwined 2 questions when they are not connected.

I think you are asking....

1.  How can I set up a wide area community wireless network (intranet).

2.  What is needed to stream video over #1.

Ed: That's why you guys are the experts, and I'm down in the ditch with the shovel. :) Thanks, much.

Some time ago, AT&T was doing stuff with video phones and vnc. It was like they had a high quality network set up inside a location, and everyone was participating in a live, interactive tv show. Then, a couple years ago, that project moved out into the market, and I didn't see the next level (my ignorance is showing) project that I expected to replace it.

Nanostation2 takes a really big step to make an affordable community wireless network (intranet) possible for non-techies like me to explore and try out. The streaming video is to me, old hat. I want to use the switch to digital transmissions coming in February of next year, to get everyone on the community wireless network (intranet) to do the AT&T video phone vnc thingy. Tom
