Mmh, that's strange. As decoding is done by the DVB streaming shouldn't be a 
problem for a P200. You have either misconfigured your network or it's a bug 
in the streaming-plugin.

What network do you use (10Base-T, 100Base-Tx or 1000Base-T)?
What NICs do you use (PCI, ISA, PCMCIA, CARDBUS)?

I've a question, too.

As the CAMs have a PCMCIA-interface, does anybody know if the CI-slots of the 
DBOX2 are standard PCMCIA-/Cardbus-slots supported by Linux?

My idea was to put a 802.11g WLan-card into one slot to stream by wireless 
LAN.
