How Can I get a stream from satellite transponder via DVB PC card (SkyStar 2)? I want to get ALL DVB stream from sat transponder and then it will be sent to LAN.

Thanks!

I've managed to simultaneously stream five DVB-T channels from a Hauppauge NOVA-T, but with VLS. It's rather a tricky business, but here are, very summarized, the steps to take:

- build DVB libraries and drivers (from http://www.linuxtv.org)
- build custom VLS
- generate appropriate /etc/dvb/dvbrc file with satscan
- Edit vls.cfg file.

I'm trying now to get it working with VLC, but it seems that DVB support depends on V4L2 which is only present in kernels >= 2.5, and I don't want to upgrade my 2.4 systems.
