Ah thanks I will try that. I just managed to get vlc compiled, though I seem 
to have some stability issues. It plays straight VDR files but wihtout sound 
and gives me:
                    PES trashed - decoder fifo full !
over NFS. I will try it with a local coppy of the vdr file now and will try 
to compile xine.

THe thing with WLANs is that its 11M/s including a lot of overhead, so you 
actualy get about 300k/s, maybe some more.

So playback of recorded files over the network seems feasible, but how about 
streaming it straight from the card? Is there a way? 

vlc (from videolan.org) seems to be able to display TS streams over a 
network. Is the stream from the card a TS stream? Could I do somethig to get 
it over the network? (I think netcat might be  a useful tool, have to look 
into it).


Thanks
