I would like to go a step further, I'd like to stream live mpeg-2 
video to a client on the LAN with no dvb-card installed. But at the 
moment I don't know, how complicated this would be. Do you need a 
streaming server software to do something like that? The only open 
source streaming server I know is the Apple Darwin Quicktime 
Streaming Server, but at the moment it doesn't support mpeg-2 (but I 
guess it will in some months time) and there is no linux client 
(doesn't matter for me, my possible clients are Macs).

Maybe there's a simpler solution to watch live dvb video on an 
client, like reading the ring buffer over the LAN and displaying it 
with a software PVA player, I guess there is some source code around 
for SW like the windows PVAView.

greetings,
Dany
