I am a bit skeptical about the ability to transfer TV streams through a standard 100MHz Ethernet network. The problem lies in the bandwidth. The more streaming connections you would make the more choked up your streams would be. Video demands a very high bandwidth to begin with for fullscreen full resolution. In addition it will compete with any internet browsing or file transfer anybody is attempting on the network at the same time. Overload of the bandwidth would cause droppout and broken images (big chunky blocks).

I am curious to get feedback from you here if you do attempt SnapStream or similar solution. My prediction is it will choke your transfer, but I may be wrong. If it does you will most liekly need a Giga Ethernet (all Giga compatible wiring, routers, switches) be put in place and that becomes expenssive, you would have to re-consider if this solution is worth the investement. You also may need a rather strong machine to serve as the server.

Best of luck!

aelroy: Just FYI, there's a thing you can do with IP called "Multicast", where the same packets are picked up by any number of 'subscribed' machines. It's not used on the internet AFAIK, (for obvious reasons). This means that the stream need only be posted once. Alternatively you could use the "Broadcast" address which is picked up by all interfaces indescriminately. Network video streaming software probably uses one of these mechanisms.

Wouldn't this mean that there would be no adptive streaming rate adjustement, which often prevents the dropping of frames and loss of synchronization between sound and video, and is what makes video streaming on the net tollerable at all?

aelroy: yeah probably, but remember, we're talking about a LAN here, not the net. So the higher bandwidth would more than make up for that. The hard bit would be compressing the stream realtime on the machine with the tv card. I'd imagine you'd need hardware to do that. Maybe that's the sort of thing those cards can do.
As I said before, Multicast and Broadcast aren't used on the internet. Broadcast is blocked by most routers, and I imagine the same is true for multicast.
