	  I've just released an update of my dvbstream application which
	  RTP-multicasts a (audio/video) DVB TS across a LAN:

</p>

<p>
	  New features are:
	
</p>

<p>
	  <list>
		<li>updated to latest tuning API - you need the latest driver</li>

		<li>added ability to map PIDS to different values.  This
		  allows you to always map the video and audio PIDs for a
		  channel to constant values so the client doesn't need to know
		  the original PIDS.</li>

		<li>added -v, -a and -t command-line switches to route streams (video, audio 
		  and teletext respectively) to the DVB card's hardware decoders as well as to 
		  the LAN.  This allows you to view a channel on the TV-OUT at the same time as 
		  streaming it to the LAN.</li>
	  </list>
	
</p>

<p>
	  For example, to stream TVC International from Astra 19 to your LAN, whilst at 
	  the same time sending the video, audio and teletext streams to the TV-OUT and 
	  mapping the v/p/t pids to 100, 200 and 300, you would type the following:
	
</p>

<p>
	  dvbstream -f 12441 -p v -s 27500 -v 512:100 -a 660:200 -t 576:300
	
</p>

<p>
	  I would welcome any feedback or feature suggestions.
	
</p>

<p>
	  Thanks, David!
