over the network – IPTV at its best

23. This is a different playlist,
showing the channels we are
streaming from our DVB-S/S2 card.
You can have as many playlists as
you wish.
24. Zapping between the different
channels within the playlist is easy,
but naturally you have to expect 2-3
seconds to see the next picture.
The reason is the buffering that
is required, to ensure that sudden
delays within the network traffic
don’t stop the reproduction.
