I was watching live TV online, running google chrome on my laptop, first under Fedora-22 and then under Windows 7 (through filmon.com) using chromecast to cast the program onto a Samsung TV (series 6). My laptop is linked to a router by WiFi, and thence to a CentOS-7 server, and finally to the internet. You seem to suggest that the chromecast connects the TV directly to the router once the connection is established? That seems plausible, but doesn't explain the difference in quality. I just tried using a Samsung Galaxy phone in place of the laptop to cast the same online TV program to the TV, and found this was actually even better than Windows. So I'd have to say Android wins the 3-way race. I suspect my broadband speed (in central Italy) of 6.6 Mbps is on the borderline for this use, though that may be nonsense. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
