I haven't tried this, but maybe someone out there wants to give it a go and let us know if it works...
It's a bit long-winded, but could be worth it if you are a feed-nut

Watching MPEG 4:2:2 signals

Download WinGrabE from this post.
Download and install VLS from http://www.videolan.org/streaming/

* Start WingrabE.
* Select [Grab into a program stream file]
* NEXT
* Enter the DREAMBox IP ---- for example, 192.168.1.24
* Enter Video/Audio PID of the channel you want to stream. This can be either the channel you are currently tuned to, or another channel on the same transponder. (you can find these on the dreambox web interface. Make sure to select "Hex")
* NEXT
* Leave the [program stream file] name field empty.
* NEXT
* Leave [activate timer] empty
* NEXT
* The screen should have two boxes state and messages
* It may take 10 or so sec to load up.
* You need all 7 lines showing stuff ( not waiting for info)
* Open VideoLan Client
* Press Ctrl+N
* Select HTTP/FTP/MMS and type into the box: http://localhost:31337/start.mpg
* OK

Enjoy the beauty of 4:2:2 feeds!

Yep - works great. A little stutter across 11Mbps wireless lan but otherwise works well.

So this is OK as a solution for LAN streaming - question is, for me, is there a way of doing internet (ie. low bandwidth) successfully. One thought is to capture the stream using WinGrabE, but then have something else pick up this stream on a LAN PC, compress it, and restream it so that a remote PC can pick up the compressed stream.

Any thoughts anyone?
