A viewer of mine requested help in getting DVBlast to stream a satellite TV channel to VLC media player. Naturally, I enjoy a challenge (it's not the easiest software to use), and had a play around in Linux last night. I eventually got it working streaming a single TV channel, and later figured out a method of streaming multiple TV channels encoded into the same satellite transponder signal.
Using my TBS6908 tuner and satellite dish pointed at Intelsat-19, DVBlast tunes to the desired TV transponder and streams the incoming video and audio data to a multicast IP address of 224.0.0.1 in RTP format. This stream can be opened in VLC media player so the satellite TV channel can be watched. Satellite transponders containing multiple TV channels can be streamed by preparing a .conf format text file, and allocating one multicast IP address for each TV channel. Watch the video until the end for instructions on how to do this.
Thanks very much for watching!
