It streams the raw MPEG2 data that VDR receives... so typically for one 
channel you will need about 4Mbps of bandwidth.

If you have a budget card, it is also possible to stream the entire transport 
stream - needing typically 16-34Mbps of bandwidth :)

Don't get your hopes up too high, many people have reliability problems with 
streamdev (myself included :)
