Well, you can try to stream to a fifo instead of stdout, and then open
the fifo with VLC, as if you were opening a file. 

You can also try to open the stream sent by the dreambox directly with
vlc (it should be able to handle it, if the stream is set properly on
the dreambox). 

You don't need vls to restream the video. VLC can also do it very well
using stream output (have a look at the videolan howto and the vlc
user guide)
