I suggest starting with the existing test programs 
"testMPEG2TransportStreamer" (for multicast streaming) and 
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" for unicast streaming.  If your input stream (from 
your DVB card) is accessible as a file (which it probably will be if you're 
running a sensible operating system like Unix), then you can simply replace 
the file name string "test.ts" with the name of your input device.

(In "testOnDemandRTSPServer.cpp", you should probably also change the 
variable "reuseFirstSource" from "False" to "True".)

If you are running a more brain-damaged operating system (e.g., Windows) 
that doesn't let you access input devices as files, then unfortunately 
you'll have more work to do - you'll need to write a "FramedSource" 
subclass that encapsulates your DVB input device.
