I do the following over a local network. I don't see why it wouldn't work over the internet, but I haven't tried it.
I have the
Twinhan card on one of my networked computers. It does have a static IP#, but that's not important, as long as you know the IP# that was assigned. I also have UltraVNC server running on that computer, and also have the free VLC media player installed. Most importantly, I have TSREADER installed on that computer.
On whatever remote computer I want to view video on, I have VLC media player installed, as well as the ULTRAVNC viewer.
From the remote computer, I run UltraVNC, and connect to the computer which has the Twinhan card. From the UltraVNC window, I can start up TSREADER, and can control the Twinhan card from that. When I tune in a signal I want to watch, I click on that stream in TSREADER, and tell it to Play the channel with VLC. TSREADER starts streaming to the local host, and the VLC window will pop up in UltraVNC, but you can't see any video. I then shut down VLC in the UltraVNC window, however TSREADER is still streaming the video to the local host.
Now, on my remote computer I run VLC, and tell it to open a network stream. I select HTTP mode, and type in the IP# of the computer with the Twinhan, with a :1234 after the IP#. At this point, video pops up on the VLC screen on my remote computer. This works great over a 50MBPS wireless net for SD, and works pretty well for most
HD over a dedicated 100MBPS wired net. I don't know what speeds most broadband people have on the internet, since I only connect via a dialup, which is why I've never tried this over the internet. SD video didn't work very well over a 10-baseT wired net, although this depended on what video I was trying to watch. Some was watchable some was not.
The only problem I'd see getting it to go over the internet, would be figuring out the routing to the computer running the Twinhan. I've experimented a bit with the router, telling it to route specific ports to that computer, and it "seems" to work, however I haven't been able to experiment with video since I have such a slow connection.
Re security, UltraVNC has passwords. I don't think security is important for the port TSREADER is streaming on. I don't think it can stream to more than one computer at a time anyway.
This is not as sophistocated as a web server, but works beautifully. You can even record programming using VLC from the remote computer. I did this with a HD superbowl stream while watching the SD stream (I don't have HDTV) on regular TV.
Anyway, while not as sophistocated as the web server method, it is an option for people who don't want to install fancy server software or other operating systems on their computer. All of the above are free Windows software, although I'm using the pay version of TSREADER, but anyone with a Twinhan SHOULD invest in that anyway.
Anyway, this is an alternative method that may or may not work over the internet. It is very and simple and works very well over a LAN, and should work over the internet too, but I'm not positive.
