Re: TV over LAN?

[ljordan@nw3c.org (Loren Jordan)]

I did this a while ago...

I am almost afraid to admit this but I used Real Video, set up the free 
evaluation  "limited stream count" server and the "free" producer.  The 
producers input was /dev/bt??? (it's been a while but is the same type of 
card as yours) and produced to the local server.

I configured this to produce the "250Kbit" stream and just fired up the 
"free" real player on my linux laptop.  I could site on my couch and watch 
real tv and real-player tv with sound... Pun intended?

Real server can also record ("archive") if you want it to, not that a vcr 
or tivo can't do these for you...

Hope this helps.
