video streaming from pc to ppc?

[draderman]

hi all. i own a htc touch but i just recently added a high speed wireless evdo internet service to my plan. i wanted to access my home pc from the ppc, so after doing a little research, i discovered the rdm client for wm6. i installed it and spent some time testing out the functionality. i was surprised to discover that i could access avi videos stored on my pc and play them. i dont believe i was getting full 32bit colors, as the video did look extremely low quality, and there was also no sound. still- its cool, just not good enough.

it got me thinking tho: how neat would it be, for example..

say your a lost fan. you religiously watch the show every wednesday, however this wednesday, you wont be home. no problem you say, because you can access your home pc from your ppc, download the episode, and play it on the pc at home, all the while streaming your desktop to your mobile. sounds far superior to downloading a 350mb avi to your ppc directly, because at evdo speeds i guesstimate the download would never finish anywhere as fast as it would on my home pc.

the point:

i see alot of different remote desktop applications out there (logmein etc.) but these seem to be geared more toward the remote assistance troubleshooting technicians. does anyone know of a way, or program, free or licensed, that would allow me to view my home pc desktop remotely, and be capable of streaming video AND have that vid be of decent quality? can anybody tell me how they stream video to there ppc, how it looks, and from where?

thanks everyone! youre super!
