VLC is a free program that can play video on your computer, or it can stream it over a network. Many people with the Twinhan card use a program called TSREADER. The full version of TSREADER costs money, but there is a free evaluation version. TSREADER can stream a video program from the Twinhan card to the VLC program, and VLC then plays the video on the computer. TSREADER can also stream the video across a local network so that it can be played on another computer in your house.
I have my Twinhan card on a computer in my basement. I almost NEVER use the Twinhan software, but instead I use TSREADER to stream video over my network so that I can view it either on my laptop upstairs or on my TV via a Roku HD1000.
Even if you don't use VLC with the Twinhan, it is recommended as it is free, always improving, and plays more types of video files than any other program I've seen. Even with a file, you can tell VLC to stream the file over your network to be played by another copy of VLC on another computer, and it can transcode the video on the fly. A really powerful program.
