So-called 'professional' CAM modules are able to descramble up to twelve services, whereas customer-oriented modules are often limited to one or two services unless otherwise specified. Some CAM modules aren't compatible with some DVB cards, check the linux-dvb documentation for more information. Currently released versions of VLC only support the low-level API so some adapters won't work (budget-ci cards work, twinhan doesn't). Second VLC can take advantage of the Common Interface supported by some DVB adapters to descramble one or several services. First you can use the advanced stream output options such as transcoding and all kinds of output supports. Note: VLC has many more features than VLS.

12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers).

or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to.the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to.'EUROSPORT' is the channel you want to stream as written in your ~/.dvbrc file,.dvbrc file containing the DVB channels (satellite or digital terrestial TV channels) you want to stream in your home directory (some are provided in the libdvb tarball for the satellite channels). However, we do not support VLS any longer. The only advantage of VLS is to support the dvbrc file syntax, and it requires a bit less CPU horsepower. It is strongly advised to use VLC instead, which now supports the same features as VLS, and many more. Note: VLS is currently deprecated and hasn't been maintained for years. If you have any problem with the linux-dvb drivers, please report the problem to the maintainers of the drivers, not to us.

The following sections assume that you have a working linux-dvb installation, either from stock kernel 2.6 or from kernel 2.4 with DVB patches. if you are using a Linux 2.4.x kernel, you must download the latest release of the DVB drivers from the DVB drivers download page of the LinuxTV Project.

2.8, you must download the latest release of the DVB drivers from the DVB-S(S2) drivers for Linux. if you use a dvb-card Technisat SkyStar2 rev.if you use a Linux 2.6.x kernel, you just need to select the right modules in your kernel configuration.If you want to be able to stream from a DVB card (a satellite card or a digital terrestial TV card), you need to install the DVB drivers: Note: This is possible under GNU/Linux only.
