Okay, here's the situation. I currently have PC with a TV Tuner PCI card in it. I'm getting a Powerbook (lord only knows when it'll get here, they've changed the shipping date twice now I think.) I don't want to shell out the extra bucks, right away, for a FW or USB TV Tuner for the Mac, so here's what I'm looking to do:

Using VLC or something else, can I stream the video output from the TV card to my Mac over my local wireless network? I figured that, if nothing else, I could use VNC to change channels and whatnot, but I'm guessing that it'd be too laggy to use VLC to watch TV, or would it?

If it helps any, I have an old Dell (1.6Ghz P4, I think) with an AVerTV Studio TV PCI Tuner card, and a 1.5Ghz 15" PB on the way. Thanks.
