  Lots. There are 6 video channels and about 20 radio.

  Looks like it - it isn't a VLC limit, as I got two SD, one HD and two 
radio streams out of transponder with a Connexant CX88 based card in the 
same machine.
  The DVB-S TwinHan is a Brooktree based card.

  I hoped to try that by leaving the 'programs=' line off in the hope 
that it would feed the entire TS stream into VLC - but that didn't work 
either - got nothing.
  Will experiment further - as when I first started doing this I managed 
to stream the entire DVB-T multiplex out on one multicast group - the 
vlc clients would open up ALL streams and then promptly overload the 
client machine - if I was lucky I could get in and turn off the other 
video streams before vlc crashed.

  My signals are not perfect however - and when a burst of errors 
occurs, the CPUs on the machine max out making the errors worse... 
Streaming 16 streams from 4 cards from the one box is probably over 
doing it :-)

  Dumping X and running on the console might give me a little more 
processor time for signal processing :-)
