I believe that's what NCD invented the Network Audio System (NAS) for, to use with their X terminals. I think it works the same way round; ie it has a server on the same machine as the X server. I can't find whether ssh will forward it in the same way as X. Note that I've never used it.

You only need one or the other, and I would recommend using the ssh solution, as xhost is rather easily exploitable.

Re: TV over LAN?
begin Dave Sherohman quotation: Last I heard, xhost and X forwarding over ssh were unrelated. Definitely; with ssh forwarding, your display actually seems to be on a local port, so adding the ssh client machine to xhost is irrelevant. You only need one or the other, and I would recommend using the ssh solution, as xhost is rather easily exploitable. Depends how much you trust the local network. If I'm running X across the LAN either at home or at the office (we're a very small company), I just use xhost, because I feel reasonably secure. Across the Internet (sans VPN) or in a large company, I might prefer ssh forwarding. I would also expect that not encrypting the traffic has some effect on performance, though I have never actually tested this. (More practically, if you've got the spare CPU cycles available, you can have ssh compress the data stream, which is a Good Thing if you run into problems with the amount of network bandwidth used by your video stream.) This depends on the network bandwidth available, as well as the CPU power at hand. On a 100 Mb network, I would think that MPEG2 video is unlikely to be a bandwidth problem unless you have many streams running at once through the same segments or hubs.

Re: TV over LAN?
I did this a while ago... I am almost afraid to admit this but I used Real Video, set up the free evaluation limited stream count server and the free producer. The producers input was /dev/bt??? (it's been a while but is the same type of card as yours) and produced to the local server. I configured this to produce the 250Kbit stream and just fired up the free real player on my linux laptop. I could site on my couch and watch real tv and real-player tv with sound... Pun intended? Real server can also record (archive) if you want it to, not that a vcr or tivo can't do these for you...

From their homepage (www.videolan.org): VideoLAN is a project of second-year students at the École Centrale Paris. Its purposes are to set up and exploit a very high throughput network, in order to broadcast digital video and Video on Demand on the campus. The VideoLAN Server broadcasts MPEG2 videos on the network. Today, possible inputs include DVDs, DVB-S satellite streams, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files, MPEG-2 real-time encoding cards. Peter De Wachter
