On my Pentium 200 MMX with 32mb, slackware, kernel 2.4.14, with a Siemens rev1.3 I can stream 2 or 3 channels per time. The maximum bandwith is about 12mbit/s. I can correctly send over a lan in PES (with dvbstream) RaiUno and RaiDue or 3 channels from Sitcom bouquet (Nuvolari, Alice, Leonardo...).
