Hello,
is here a ISP which stream TV chanels to its customers?
Rolf (my Partner) and me are in creation of a new enterprise in Baden-
Würtemberg (Germany) <http://www.tdwave.net/> and want to stream arround
20-30 TV channels to our customers.
Currently I run a private WaveLAN Base Station with 6 MBit downstreams
(1 MBit Upstream) and we get with 3 Mbit a standard TV stream "History
Channel" using VLC over the net. OK, HDTV is not possibel but our
customers (which are fscked by T-Online, KabelBW, Arcor, Freenet and
other $BIG_PROVIDERS) like to get at least NORMAL TV, so we want to try
it out and test it.
OK, now we are searching for Multi-Channel DVB cards and streaming
servers, because VLC crash minimum one time per hour.
I am broadcasting privately to 23 customers @once.
Or do you think, we should install one server per stream?
I have alread successfuly streamed using a VIA EPIA LN10000EAG with
1 GByte of memory, a Hauppauge DVB-T card and it consumes less then 27W.
(the DVB-T card need very much power)
However, is there REAL Client-Server (preferable OS) software available
which works for Windows (any versions) Linux and BSD?
I mean, a client software, where users can selct a TV-Channel and then
connect automaticaly? VLC seems a little bit crappy...
I was thinking, that a Clinet Software connect to a server (http ?),
download the channel list and show it to the user. Then the user can
select between the channels and that it is.
There is NOTHING special with it and (theoretical) it could be coded
very simple in Python of Perl because VLC libs are availabel in both
programming languages.
Note: I am even abel to sponsor such (OSS) project a little bit,
if someone can code the required software, but it must work
on any Operating Systems. (I have two Python programs which
are working on my Linux Workstation AND on Windows XP/Vista)
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
