Yes, where 'x' is an integer.  I.e., each UDP packet contains 1 or more 
(usually 7) 188-byte Transport Stream 'packet'.

FYI, the LIVE.COM RTSP server implementation will successfully stream a 
MPEG-2 Transport Stream file to an Amino set-top box - provided that it is 
configured to use "NCube Media Server" mode (not "Oracle" mode, and 
certainly not "Kasenna" mode).  (We have a major customer that is 
developing a product that does this.)
