Can this computer handle live TV football streaming without any buffering, if not can you recommend one, thank you.

Yes this PC will easily handle live streaming, remember your router/internet service also plays a role in streaming without buffering. If you can direct connect to your router vs wireless it is even faster. The processor, memory and video are plenty adequate with this PC. We use it for internet gaming with little to no lag.

i agree with the three answers before, this computer run smooth videos but will depend your internet connection. Regards to all

I would say yes, but the quality of your streaming would depend more so on your internet connection and its strength.

Thank you. But if I did have a cable box this would work for live tv? Football season is just around the corner. Thank you again

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.

I can't see why not! I just bought a new Chromebook and a new Samsung TV; it connects perfectly. Although I do not use the cable so much for my notebook, I enjoy it almost every evening for a selective video. I prefer "streaming" any day, it is so convenient! If it doesn't work for you, I believe there is a return policy. I would certainly give shot! Note: And if you are not aware, Amazon has a free "streaming" library for Prime users, which saves on Hulu Plus or Netflix, in addition to free expedited shipping on selected items. Enjoy!

Should not need to buffer very much (except when switching stations). I am on slowish DSL also.

I have not attempted it. The provided software does not. But it streams the video feed to other applications. There most like are some that can receive and record a live video stream

I have read elsewhere that you have to add what you want to watch to your Instant Queue in order to be able to watch it "On Demand" on certain devices.. perhaps this is the case with this unit? This other review noted that you were not able to search and begin streaming from those units. I believe this was a TV review I was reading, with something like NetCast installed. It might be worth a try.. add something to your Instant Queue and see if will let you start playing it.

No. It will not "stream" directly from the camera to a computer over any network. You have to connect it via USB and transfer the videos that way. It does it much faster than expected if that's any consolation.

I do not see it having a problem as long as server can feed quick enough over network. I attach directly to tv and have movies running on it all the time as a server so I know it handles 1080p fine w/o network. Get 4gig memory and increase buffer size if you have any issues.

Yes, marginally. While your computers speed will increase overall joekerr1 is right streaming capability is more dependent on network infrastructure

Yes you can and it streams very well, only little buffering. I'm happy with it and so is my 2 year old.

I use the livestream broadcaster. I had issues using the application. It kept overheating the proccesor. But it all depends what you are going to use to broadcast. They are supposed to tell you what you need.

Yes, I listen to a college station in Kansas that streams @ 328K and have no buffering problems

Yes I would recommend. Watch the three step process video, I believe it's on YouTube. Buy or rent a low speed buffer. It's not a miracle product without involving a little effort.

Startup is pretty quick. Remember, the chromebox can only play thru a web browser. I would be hesitant to stream something that requires a ton of resources.

Probably not because it's a laptop with a laptop processor. I would recommend a desktop with At least a 3.0 GHz clock speed processor and 8 GB of ram for smooh streaming. If you want to stick with a laptop though you can go with a higher end procesor. I would get at least an Intel i5 with good clock speed and 4 to 6 GB of ram is enough to stream but I'd recommend 8 if you can afford it. Higher end games will require more than lower end ones so keep that in mind. Hope this gives you a direction at least.
