Re: Watch TV Card over remote X?

I've got a small home LAN. One box has an ATI All-In-Wonder card. I can
watch TV on it no problem with xawtv. I can "ssh -X firstbox.ip.address"
into it and run xterm remotely, but when I try to run xawtv it complains
that there's no such device as /dev/video0 and no video grabber device
available.
Once upon a time, I did this at home using the realaudio suite of
apps. The "FREE" version of producer can make 2 different stream bit
rates, the pay version can do all bit rates at the same time. The "FREE"
version of real server is good for only a few clients at the same time.
I used the producer and server on my home Linux server box with a bttv card
in it, and the clients were my windoze box, my Linux desktop and my
roommates windoze and Linux boxes. We could have all 4 clients watching
300KB streams and the PIII/600 server was running at about 25% cpu and lots
of network bandwidth available for other stuff. The only problem was when
the video got really busy, the frame rate would drop and the server cpu %
would climb up to > 70%.
If there is a cool way of doing this with non-pay software, I would like to
know about it. I have use for this at home myself (soon) and was going to
do the real-server thing again...
Another cool thing the real-server can do is "archive" or record the "live"
stream into .ram files. You can replay this again from the server...
Is it possible to do what I want to do? If so, what am I doing wrong? If
it's not possible, that's okay; I just thought it'd be a really neat trick
with lots of "Can you do this with Windows" gloat value.
Thanks!
Kent
