Pros

    VideoLan

    DVBlast is a lightweight and robust streaming application developed by VideoLAN, designed for streaming digital TV (DVB) channels over a network. It operates by accessing a DVB device, tuning it to the desired frequency, applying PID filters, configuring a Conditional Access Module (CAM), and demultiplexing the transport stream packets to multiple RTP outputs. DVBlast is intended to serve as the core of custom Integrated Receiver Decoders (IRD) or Conditional Access Systems (CAS) on Linux-based PCs equipped with compatible DVB hardware.
