# 6.3. Stream with VLC

| For this, you must use the CVS version of VLC and compile it with ./configure --enable-dvb This feature should still be considered as experimental.

    % vlc -vvv --program 8211 dvb:12597000:0:3:27500000 --sout udp:192.168.0.12 --ttl 12

where :

- `8211` is the PID of the DVB channel you would like to stream, expressed as a decimal number ;

- `12597000` is the frequency of the transponder you want to stream from in Hz;

- `0` is the polarization (0 for vertical, 1 for horizontal) ;

- `3` is the FEC (3 for 3/4, 9 for auto) ;

- `27500000` is the transponder symbol rate in Hz ;

- 192.168.0.12 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 the 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).
