[mythtvnz] How feasible is this...?

[Craig Spiers]

Just curious - what were you using for set top boxes to receive the
multicast?

>From what I am read what you are trying to do is take each channel and send

it out for other in real time to say STB's or other clients such as windows 
media player.

You can use VLC for this..
DVB input -> VLC -> output as multicast or unicast streams to clients

I have used this set up quite a number of times for streaming DVB-S 
channels -> Multi Receivers over the Internet with over 100+ simultaneous 
clients.

Of if you want to "Pay" for it all you can use windows media server on 2003 
and windows media encoder (Haven't tried DVB-S Cards with encoder but there 
will be a way I think of using them)

Thanks
Craig
