VideoLan www.videolan.org can also pump the DVB MPEG2 transport streams 
over a network I believe and has clients for a huge number of 
platforms.

A (Mac-only) product from El Gato, recently reviewed in the Green 
Guide, is an external  box with integrated DVD-T tuner and a firewire 
port, allowing you to watch Digital TV on your Mac Desktop or 
PowerBook. BTW DVB works well mobile for you in-car multimedia 
enthusiasts. ( Mac software to support the Hauppage internal PCI cards 
is available from John Dalgliesh at http://www.defyne.org/dvb/ )

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) at Federation Square 
streams around 30 channels of video to the plasmas around the complex 
as MPEG2 at around 8 Mbit/sec over a Gigabit Ethernet backbone.
