JTVLAN enables to stream and view digital TV (DVB-T) across the network. It includes a server component (JTVLANServer), which should be installed on a server machine equipped with a DVB-T capture card, and a client component (JTVLANClient) which can receive and display the audio/video stream generated by the server.
JTVLAN uses and glues together different software technologies to accomplish this result.
There are a lot of TV viewing software solutions around, both free and commercial. Every one has its strengts, but I found that none of these was offering the simple functionalities I need:
DVB-T support on Windows XP platform
Ability to view live television on any networked PC thus sharing the capture card to every computer on the network
Simple ad lightweight application with low CPU and memory requirements enabling to freely work on the PC while it is playng, streaming or recording
No need to have a cumbersome user interface and a complete media center or EPG integrated with the viewing application
