Unicast device outside LAN possible?

#1
Hi all,

Thanks for this great forum where I found already almost all my information for this great dvb-s software. The question I have is the following:

-> Version of DVBViewer I'm using is 3.9.1.

Inside my appartment I'm able to use the DVBViewer Client after having configured the DVBServer for two tuner cards (dvb-t & dvb-s). In this case it's locally done via the 192.168..... address. My question is the following:

Because of not able to receive the Astra satellite on the balcony of my appartment I was thinking if it was possible to configure the dvbserver/client so that a virtual network unicast device would be detected outside my own network (so via the internet) to a server from a friend which actually can receive the ASTRA. I would set up a server on his place and be able to see his card on my client ( in my house) which would be me give the possibility to "catch" the ASTRA satellite.

The question is thus if the dvbclient program can actually be configured for the use of IP addresses outside your own local network instead of using the 192.168.1.<number> range?

Can this be done using Progdvb?

Thanks for your information already.

Rafael

Ok thanks for your answer already. Because I'm now using DVBViewer I would like to know what the setup would be using Progdvb.

1) Installing the server of Progdvb on my friend's pc (for Astra)
2) Installing the client of Progdvb on my pc (not locally)
3) Do I need to use Prog media server for this?

How will Progdvb discover the other server?
