so that while my flatmate is watching some crap on TV I can still watch
something else... I have a system with 2 DVB-T tuners, I'll just start
with 1 card, tuned to 666000000 which allows me to get all the BBC
goodness and currently using DVBlast to get all the channels over the
network on Multicast (seperate Multicast IP for each channel). E.G.

The TV Tuner is on box A, I wish to
watch on box B,C & D, possibly multiple channels, this also allows me to
record the streams when something interesting is on. what I'm really
looking for at this stage is to have it Unicast instead of Multicast....
