Streaming of TV-Card e.g. BDA devices

I'm using serviio as central media server for all kind of media on a nice small nvidia ion windows 7 box. I also have a small eyetv sat receiver and it would be great if I could also stream the BDA tv stream from universal BDA devices. Then I would attach the USB BDA box to tha server and could watch SAT TV on all PC's even on my android tablet.
Today I would require a seperate application with the TV netstreaming plugin to stream the TV program. I know, this is not a small enhancement but would be an incredible enhancement.
I hope this is not a double pos (other have requested that already)

This is not exactly what you are requesting but have a look at this Stream Live Video and to be honest what your asking wouldnt be possible you could stream in principle the same channel to every TV but you wouldnt be able to stream different channels to each device as that would require multiple tuners.

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm aware what I'm requesting. Of course for multiple streams of different TV channels, multiple tuners would be required. That is not really the use case I'm requesting. I would be happy with already ONE channel. Tht is certainly possible as there are seperate BDA TB streaming apps, add-ins, plu-ins and service available but not integrated in a single multimedia server.

Seems slightly pointless then to me but ok, post a feature request on Bitbucket and maybe it can be added to a future version of serviio but i doubt it will be added to 0.6

I'll not be implementing anything specific like this. You might make that work via VLC or similar streamer and then capture that stream with Serviio as an online stream, when that is available.
