7*188 bytes (probably) the size of a network *packet*, not the amount 
of memory buffering available at your STB client - which should (I 
hope) be much larger than this

No - the server streams the Transport Stream data at its natural 
rate.  (How could it do anything different??)  If you want to stream 
at a lower bit rate, you will need to reencode your Transport Stream 
to use a lower bit rate.

Because VLC plays your stream OK, the problem is with your STB 
client, so you will need to ask the manufacturer of this client for 
help.
