I'm looking to pick up the HTC Legend soon. Not the best out there, but it's free on a cheap plan and sounds good enough for me. Anyone used it before?

But how do you send the video signal from your laptop to your HDTV? Does the laptop have HDMI or DVI output? I'm not overly familiar with streaming using a PS3 as I don't have one.
3 years old and a laptop? I'll take the liberty to confirm your video card doesn't do DXVA. So you need to use the CPU for decoding, which if it isn't a fairly strong CPU can be a bit taxing on it, which causes your overheating problems. You should probably be able to run 720p files normally but you need to have it set up properly.
Here's what I can tell you to do on Vista, on Ubuntu, I can't help you.
1. Uninstall absolutelly everything that's connected to video playback, meaning any codec packs or programs.
2. Install MPC-HC
3. Install CoreAVC for decoding(it's good for older CPUs) (I can send you teh cracked version)
4. Install Haali Media Splitter.
5. Open MPC-HC and go to output and select EVR Custom Pres. as your renderer
6. Go to External Filters and add the following and set the "prefer" option:
- haali media splitter
- CoreAVC video decoder
And that's it. You should be able to run MKV files normally...if it still lags, I'm afraid your CPU isn't strong enough to play HD files or something is fucked up.
Why not?

Basically you use computer as a media server for the PS3 by streaming data over a WiFi network. You play the file from the PS3 like you'd normally play the movie. Its a little tricky to play the MKV as PS3 doesn't natively support it. So the decoding is done on the computer end. Works fine on Ubuntu (PS3 mediaserver app is a gem), not so fine on Vista.
I'll try this over the weekend probably. Thanks :smile:

Because of HTC's non-existent support. They've never released a single software update for the OS(except one for Obange branded Tattoo's in Europe) and they won't even update the OS to 2.1. And the phone isn't even 1 year old. Their high-end devices get software updates even before their official release. It's clear that they just don't want to spend any more of their budget on a low-end phone. I don't think I'll buy another HTC phone.
