Watching TV card over network

[Miramonti]

I have a tv card (a fairly old hauppauge wintv card) and I'd like to watch it on a different computer than the card is installed. How can I watch it over a lan?

the card has to have onboard decoding, if so use snapstreams beyond tv or sage.tv

I don't think it has onboard encoding...why must it have encoding...so it can serve the tv video signal in encoded format to the other computer?

When you watch tv on your computer, the image is being displayed using something like DirectX Video Mixing Renderer, an overlay or something similar. This is analog data cant be streamed digitally over a network. In order to get view TV from another Pc, you need to encode the video to mpg (or mp2) so that the data can be fed over your network connection.
