Mine works fine, I do:

vlc --extraintf sap
and in the stream output options specify "TVWindows" which shows
up on my Linux box VLC client.

I do notice that with a space "TV Windows", that only the TV part
shows up in the linux playlist, I guess could be considered a bug.
Other than that streams no problem.
