[Mplayer-dvb] How to do a central DVB-S Server for a community network ?

[ChristianHJW]

Hi, can anybody hint me to software that was able or could be used as a
basis to make something like a central DVB-S Server for a 100 mbit/s
community network ?

The idea behind is to have 4 - 5 PCs sitting in a central 'serve' room, each
equipped with 6 - 8 DVB-S cards ( all slots ), connected to a 120 cm sat
dish with a low SNR dual LNB, signal distributed to the DVB-S cards via
switching matrix, and then to serve 24 - 40 different TV stations to a
ethernet network, all via MPEG2 transport stream as given by DVB-S
satellite.

Participants to the network needed a PC with a MPEG2 decoder card to be able
to render the signal to a common antenna line in the house ( or simply watch
TV on their PC ), one card per program, could record as many TV stations as
their HDDs and network connection could handle same time, and time shift
would be an extra bonus also.

Any ideas how to do this ?

I could see a future where

- internet ( like Roederstrasse, Germany )
- TV
- telephone

are distributed to the householdings via ethernet

Thanks
