Has anyone got any recommendations for what software to use to stream DVB-T and DVB-S over my local network?

It is possible to use minisatip or TVHeadend to turn tuners into IPTV
tuners, but unfortunately MythTV is unable to scan IPTV tuners for
channels.  So you have to have some way of creating and maintaining
the IPTV channel list.  I do this for my DVB-S tuners using minisatip
and SAT>IP protocol, but not having channel scanning is a serious
problem.  I manually adjust channels in the database when things
change.

I have never used wake-on-lan in real life, but it does work if you
set it up right.  It can be fiddly to set up, and some LAN cards are
better than others.  How reliable it is I do not know.
