# 6.2. Stream with VLS

Put a `.dvbrc` file containing the DVB channels (satellite or digital terrestial TV channels) you want to stream in your home directory (some are provided in the libdvb tarball for the satellite channels) .

Run VLS with the following command line :

    % vls -vv -d udp:192.168.0.42 dvb:"EUROSPORT" --ttl 12

where :

- "EUROSPORT" is the channel you want to stream as written in your `~/.dvbrc` file ,

- 192.168.0.42 is either :

  - the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to ;

  - or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to ;

  - or a multicast IP address .

- 12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers) .
