thanks for all your responses. The reason I am interested in realtime streaming is because I want to see live sport events that don't broadcast in my area (Americans don't care much for soccer; sigh). I'm willing to compromise on the quality if I get the feed in realtime.
The frontend/backend thing sounds like a proper client/server architecture that does exactly what I'm looking for. What I'm not sure about is (1) firewall issues (2) remote control (3) reduce the resolution of the feed before streaming.
