from ET500
i use VLC on my pc, browse to the ip address of your et5000 then select a channel and hit the stream icon, done.
if you want to stream away from home, use a vpn or setup the correct port forwarding there are plenty on guide on here just hit the search.

from PC to ET5000

you can setup shared folders on your PC, install samba on the ET5000 and use the media player to stream files from the PC, AFAIK it would not be possible to stream BBC iplayer, 4od, ITV player or five on demand from your PC to the ET5000, though someone may correct me on this one,

You can follow this guide to watch stuff on a pc hd on your box but AFAIK not ITV player etc.

is there a way to get to the current channels stream - rather than individual URLs for channels\ service refs so that it can be captured by VLC and re-encoded at a lower rate, for broadcasting over net?
