I have a full-featured one. But this would remain in the 'MediaServer', the  one
machine,  that  holds  all  data and feeds the clients which do not have any DVB
card.

Hmmm...yes, one TV program I thought, but still any  other  data  to  any  other
clients, like MP3 or DivX.

Huh ? 40MByte/s ? What are you talking about ? That would  mean  2.4  GB/minute,
and 144GB/hour. The streams come seldomly in better quality than 4MBit/s. Or did
I misunderstand something completly ? A 100MBit Ethernet should  be  cabable  of
transferring  apporx. 70-80MB/s as far as I am informed. That would easily allow
to play a MP3 in the kitchen, a DivX on the stationary server and transmit a DVB
boradcast to the bedroom.

I assume you mean, that the V4L grab is 40MByte/s ?

Cool !

Well, I really don't care. This is not an  Internet  application,  it  will  all
happen  within a hardware-DMZ-LAN, no exterior access. And for others, who would
like to use the application: Nobody will xfer a DVB  stream  over  his  Internet
connection,  I assume. And in order to program the VDR SSH should be good enough
or a web-interface, which all  needs  absolutly  no  Flash.

The Flash results usually are very good  and  flexible,  very  pretty  and  have
strong  support for developers. It looks good. Period. And as for compatibility:
I wanted to base anything on Mozilla anyway, which would be hardcoded. Not going
to run a multimedia box with Lynx ;-)
