How can I watch the live TV stream from my desktop computer on my laptop? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on both a desktop PC and a laptop. Both are connected on the same LAN and workgroup via 54Mbps wi-fi. The desktop has an internal TV card with a carefully positioned aerial due to being in a low reception area. Getting a USB TV dongle isn't an option due to the lack of reception.

I finally found a working solution to this and thought I'd post it for anyone looking. Although it uses third party software (free) and not Windows Media Center, as per my question, it still does the job. ProgDVB seems to do the trick. The software is installed on both the "server" which has the TV card and the "client", say a wirelessly connected laptop for example. You configure the ProgDVB Media Server(Home) module on the "server" within ProgDVB ...
You can then view and control progDVB on the laptop as though you were using it on the computer with the TV card. Works an absolute treat, even over wireless - access to all channels. | |||

... and then enable and configure the Prog Media Client device on the "client".
