so... I guess i should have read this before i went out an bought a tv tuner.
I bought the winTV-PVR150 . the one orb suggested .As i read on this post no one has had luck ... Its was a no go to get streaming tv to the iphone for me too . hey it works to stream on another computer . but Im not to excited over that, i want to stream tv on my iphone . that would be great to do if im running late to watch lost or 24 or I'm out of town . so i bought the tv tuner just to test it .. my friend thought i was crazy to go out of my way to buy it just to see if it worked . But hey i like to test things sometimes to try to get it to work . I was experimenting with apple quicktime broadcaster. that was a no go for me .. apple quicktime pro recorder did not work streaming . but i hooked up my camcorder through firewire and did a test record playing a tape... (as a test) .. i can hook my composite cables up to the tv and then loop them thru my camcorder to my firewire on my mac .. then with quicktime pro I recorded it. this records in an iphone compatable format... so then I used iphone remote to locate the file recorded and then play it ....
the file does not stream while it is being recorded . only after i stop recording I can stream it on the iphone.
If there is a program for Mac that can record iphone compatible video thru the firewire port and also at the same time stream to the iphone it would be sweet.

Video- Works great aslong as the videos are already in mp4 form. Good if you don't have the space to put it on your phone.
Photos- Worked like a charm.
Music- Worked great too.
Internet Tv - Doesnt work
Now my Biggest question is would the Tv Turner functionality work?
I don't have a tv turner in my computer so I can't test that out, but if someone does have one can you please test it out for orb, I'm ready to go buy a tv turner card if this works and I can watch tv on my iphone.
