I am thinking of running a software that would allow me to stream my content to a client - somethin running on my Windows Home Server that would also work with TV tuners. It would of course have to reencode the stream into something to be streamed over slower networks.

I thought of using Orb but it wouldn't detect the HDHomerun as a valid tuner. Also is a bloated software full of fails (I have been trying it since its first release and every time is more stuff we don't need and more crashes).

Any suggestions?

Won't VLC allow you to stream multicast or similar?

I'm doing this at work for The Cheese... connecting to a source, then transcoding out to multicast.
I believe VLC will do it also for a file on disk.

Hmmm. Yes. But will it do outside my LAN without a VPN - most importantly on demand and allowing channel changes, etc?

I would think so.. punch a hole in your firewall and have each of the channels with a different port.
Would have to run multiple instances of VLC though for each 'channel'.

I'm basing this on assumption, I've done it before with one clip. It acted like 'video on demand'.
