[vlc-devel] HDTV Reception/Tuning and Streaming - Can it be Done in VLC?

[Jamal Hannah]

I am just wondering if it's possible to have VLC media player act as a media station/server for any HDTV card (I assume there are a few places the streamed video end up in the system that could be consistently accessed - or does every HDTV card driver handle it differently?) and then send the live video over the internet as a stream someplace. This way, people could watch regional television from different parts of the world, depending on a person's local broadcast or cable service. Maybe VLC could even allow the client to control the source's TV channel? Who knows, but I know this is possible, and the idea of watching, say, cable tv from Finland, etc, using someone's HDTV card there, while one is in Chicago, would be a great idea.
