Channel selecting

[diter]

I wiil build a network based on VideoLaN solutions, but now i have just one important question: server with satellite receiver SkyStar broadcasts a stream into LAN, but... I don't know, how many channels will the user see - the whole stream or just one? Thank you.

[diter]

Please help me somebody! It is very important for me!!! i cant solve it without your help...

One stream, one channel at a time.

You can change channels through a Playlist.

Multicast will let everyone see the same channel at a time.

Multiple channels simultaneously requires multiple streams.

it means that i need to install for each channel the dedicated receiver?
and what is about VideoLan channel selector? i know just this name, nothing more... what does this programm do? can it help me?
>> You can change channels through a Playlist.
change the channels on the server or on the users computer?
thanks.

Yes, you need a dedicated receiver for each stream.

Yes, either you can change channels for specific stream through a list-of-channels Playlist or you can switch between streams through a list-of-streams Playlist.

May be you know some other way to do it?
To make a multicasting satellite TV over ethernet? Some other software?

[ggunners]

It's physically impossible for a TV Tuner, Satellite Tuner or Cable TV tuner to select more than a single channel at a time. So if you want to view, stream or select more than one channel, you need more than one tuner. Even Picture-in-Picture requires 2 tuners to select 2 channels.

Good luck on your quest!

One computer
One SkyStar2
One transponder
One Ethernet card
7 channels and 7 streams

OK, I stand corrected, or with a little change, one tuner = one frequency, however that single frequency can include an mpeg transport stream with multiple muxed channels inside of it.

So, any digitally muxed single frequency can contain several channels up to the capacity of the carrier. Just didn't want to supply too much info.

Thanks "Guest" for your example.

Hello All:
I know there are some channels in a TS file ,and I can play every channel through menu or right key ，but I can't do this at command line ,can you help me ?
I have write a program using the activeX in c#, and I want to do the channel select ,but I don't know how to achieve it .so ,can you help me ?
thanks a lot.

you have to retrieve the PAT and then select the right PID for the channel you want to watch, I don't know how you can do this in vlc, but it's the principle.
