I somehow got it to work. however, there is almost only garbage on the screen. 
xine says: libmpeg2: stream not demultiplexed ? keeps repeating this message 
all over.
OSD works but as i said you can harly see anything. 
my network is a 54 mbit wlan, so it should be fast enough , right??? might try 
a wired 100mbit just to make sure this is not the problem.

But, at least now i know it theoretically works ;)

Nice work !!!
