Abstract
Improved methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless transfer of digital video from a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to a Video Hosting Device (VHD). The wireless transfer can be performed over a plurality of wireless communication links, depending on transceiver used. The DVR may be factory-equipped with a wireless transceiver which is compliant with a high-throughput wireless standard, or alternatively, the DVR may have a media slot that supports a pluggable wireless transceiver card. Upon detection of a wireless network, the DVR'"'"'s transceiver initiates a session to transfer digital video over the wireless communication link to the VHD. The VHD is typically a personal computer (PC), but can also be other devices or even third-party, possibly web-hosted, applications.
