Ok, so i tried using my bf's Laptop (which has an I7 processor in it and 8 gb of ram) and it works perfectly. A few seconds of glitch and it's been seamless since then. The media tower I have connected to the tv must not have a good enough processor and/or graphics card to deal with streaming.
This is way cool btw ; )
I take it back... I got to watch all of Pleasant Hill and now Brea is frozen in time.
So it's hit or miss no matter what kind of equipment you have
