I only need 2 instance as I have 2 cards, with one card you only need 1 instance of dvbstreamer (1 card == 1 instance). >> >> My frontend then uses the livepause plugin and the viewing card in >> the server (using dvbstreamer to stream the channel over the >> network). > > may you share a few pieces of your config?

For more information on dvbstreamer see http://www.dvbstreamer.org Hope that helps.
