Thank you for the suggestions. I'm not familiar with Slingbox and curious about the specifics of how you set yours up. Are you taking the HDMI output of your interface? What does the client actually see? Does it register itself with a Slingbox service so the box can be discoverable from outside your network? For $300, it sounds like a potentially great solution.

The stream is encrypted (one viewer at a time), there are free player apps for every imaginable desktop or mobile device platform, and the system natively supports adaptive streaming -- which automatically throttles the stream bitrate to match the connection bandwidth.
