Does OP mean stream or simply playback on a remote PC? Why does anybody stream over a LAN? Just use Link or if you want to do it for free, use VLC to open the file that is currently recording. You can pause, FF, REW just like with Link. The downside is that the client machine has no control over what is being recorded or watched (unless you use VNC to start/stop/change channels).

Link is pretty cheap if you already have BTV and a remote pc(s).

Just for S&Gs I am currently watching Live SD TV with Link from my #1 HTPC and live TV with VLC from HTPC #2 on my craptop via wireless. Bandwidth is 1.5 MB/sec and both streams are playing without stutter or drops.

I can see streaming if you have an old, low powered pc and need to do the grunt work of transcoding or decoding cpu intensive files using your server's bigass cpu. But if he is just recording QAM almost any pc less than 5 yrs old can handle playback.
