>  DVBlast is a simple and powerful streaming application based on the
> linux-dvb API.  It opens a DVB device, tunes it, places PID filters,
> configures a CAM module, and demultiplexes the packets to several RTP
> outputs.
>  
> DVBlast is designed to be the core of a custom IRD or CID, based on a
> PC with Linux-supported DVB cards.

> such as transcoding, PID remapping or remultiplexing. it does not
> stream from plain files, only DVB devices. If you were looking for
> these features, switch to VLC.
