Transmit Selected Channels

This section describes how to transmit DVB Tuner channels on your network. Users can view these channels

in the Live Channels menu, or from set-top boxes attached to your system. The process is as follows:

1. In the Select Channels to Transmit Table, click the check box in the Multicast column for the channels

you want to transmit. This channel will now be added to the list of Live Channels that can be viewed by

PC or Set-top box users. Repeat this step for each channel you want to multicast. To stop transmitting a

channel just click again to deselect the check box, the channel will removed from the list of Live

Channels
