[streaming] Re: general question about VLS

[hornsby]

Hi again,

I'm sorry to say this but we, at the Digital Media Institue of Tampere Finland 
already make 5 dvb cards to stream in one computer on linux mandrake 9.0 
(  already 3 years ago)  using our own streaming software - we and I 
particulary am upgrading the system to use vls and  mandrake 9.2 with kernel 
2.4 as the 2.6 doesn't support "yet" more than 4 dvb cards.
We are at the moment streaming from 6 pc with 5 dvb card each in multicast and 
it is working very fine for almost 3 years now.
I hope VLS will do as good as our old system :)
