Yes it is possible. There seems to be a bug where the video input module
refuses to honor the "Type=Mpeg2-TS" in a config.  Thus I am having the
PVR generate a Program Stream and have vls remux it for transmission.  

To stream this simply setup the PVR for the bitrate and stream options
you want via test_ioctl, tune to the channel you wish to stream with
ptune.pl, and then start vls. 

I am going to look at the MPEG2-TS next week when I get time.

Here is a sample pvr.cfg I am using with A pvr-250 right now.

-- BEGIN pvr.cfg --

# Example of the VideoLAN HOWTO for the Kfir encoding card
 
BEGIN "Inputs"
 
  pvr      = "video"
 
END
 
BEGIN "pvr"
 
  # Kfir device
  Device        = "/dev/video0"
 
  # Stream type (default is "Mpeg2-PS")
  Type          = "Mpeg2-PS"
 
END
 
BEGIN "Channels"
 
  channel1       = "network"

  # Unicast or multicast IP address
  DstHost = "239.239.239.37"
 
  # Destination port
  DstPort = "1234"
 
  # If it's a multicast IP address, uncomment the line below
  Type    = "multicast"
 
  # If it's a multicast IP address, set the "Time To Live" below
  TTL     = "2"
 
END
 
BEGIN "LaunchOnStartUp"
 
  command1 = "start video channel1 pvr"
 
END

-- END pvr.cfg --
