TV Tuner Card Streaming Internet Broadcast

[Guest]

I am planning to make an Internet TV station out of a currently running
Local Access channel. What I want to be able to do is have some type of
input to a TV tuner card that will recieve the programming and
broadcast it over the internet. I understand that I will need a decent
speed computer and a TV tuner card, but I don't know what software
would work with what tuner card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Have you looked at MS's "Windows Media Encoder"? I can't exactly recommend
it, since I've never looked at anything else, and only played with it myself,
but I was able to stream video (and audio) from my PC over my internal
network with little trouble. It has a big advantage in being free.
