JTVLAN

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
• Simple one-click recording funcionality
