3D-TV live with Windows 7 PC
----------------------------
For the newer Nvidia graphics cards like GTS... or GT220 and up 
there are current Nvidia drivers with integrated Stereo-3D options 
(for 3D-Vision LCD-shutter glasses or the old-style red-blue 
anaglyph version). Then you need a 3D-ready-monitor with 120 Hz 
video input capability (i.e. Samsung 2233RZ or Viewsonic VX2265wm) 
or a 3D-ready DLP-HDTV set from Mitsubishi or a 3D-ready DLP beamer 
like the Acer H5360 (720p-HD).
For 3D-TV reception you need an external HDTV-ready USB DVB-S 
receiver (with CI slot you can put your CAM with smart card into 
the slot and view pay-tv). The latest version 4.5 of the DVB 
software "DVBViewer-Pro" is able to show colour anaglyph 3D from 
"side-by-side"-3D channels on any video monitor, but with some 
software fiddling it is possible to view full-coloured 3D-HDTV live:

1. in the netstreaming-plug-in of DVBViewer (from Vers. 4.2.1) 
choose "Unicast" and "Interface 127.0.0.1" (local host). 
2. install Elecard MPEG-2 PlugIn for WMP 4.1.100318_76864 (the 
demuxer is needed for splitting the stream), to find the codec-pack 
on the net google >Elecard h264 demultiplexer< (FREE-CODECS).
3. in Stereoscopic Player settings at "Decoder" use CoreAVC-Codec 
as h246-decoder (employing CUDA and reducing CPU load), AC3-Filter 
as audio-codec.
4. in DVBViewer choose "Astra-3D" on 23 degr. or "Sky 3D" on 19 degr. 
and de-activate audio/video or minimize the window.
5. in Stereoscopic Player choose "open URL" and type 
"http://127.0.0.1:2345" (2345 given from netstreaming-plug-in), now 
a settings window should open to choose "Layout side-by-side, 16:9, 
de-interlacing on".
6. the small stereoplayer window now shows one of the two 3D 
perspectives, by double-clicking on it the full screen stereo-3D 
(overlaying double pictures) is started. Take the 3D shutter glasses 
and view 3D-TV...

In my configuration this only works with "Elecard" and "Haali" 
chosen in settings under "MPEG4 splitters". The CPU load in task 
manager is showing around 40 percent on the 4 cores, a test of the 
DVBViewer window parallel to the small stereoplayer window shows 
stuttering video there, but the recording function on hard disk is 
running well. A 3D-TV playback from hard disk in stereoplayer needs 
another mounted MPEG4 decoder, i.e. from CyberLink.

Unfortunately the live stream from DVBViewer to stereoplayer was 
interrupted after some time (maybe 30 min.), then the URL 
registration in stereoplayer must get re-activated. This problem 
is solved by another tip from the german 3D experts forum 
www.stereoforum.org

"In the registry editor at 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory-Management 
I have set "Largesystemcache" to 1, on this page at 
"DisablePagingExecutive" doing the same (then close registry window!) 
and in the DVBViewer Netstreaming-plug-in setting "buffer" to "200" 
ended any interruptions."
