Install and use VDR (http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr), ince you get
it running, besides being amazed at how much it does, install the
streamdev plugin (http://www.magoa.net/linux/index.php?view=streamdev)
and you'll be able to watch it on any other computer and platform, be it
Linux, Windows or whatever that can play streamed MPEG2 streams, in TS,
PS or PES formats.
