A couple of addition from here:

Server: After selecting EyeTV and a channel, I have to klick next channel to activate the live TV in VLC

Client: For the ipofmac:8080 adress, I need to add http:// for the channel to show up. Full URL “http://ipofmac:8080”

Why stream over http protocol designed for webbrowsing instead of RTP RTSP designed for live videostreaming?

Note: HTTP has fault correction active. If the requested data includes an error, http will stall the download until fault is corrected

RTP RTSP dispalys what arrives and moves on. No stall.

In other words. HTTP works fine in an isolated contained environment with plenty capacity (LAN 1-2 clients). Streaming protocols will keep going even under preasure multiuser etc.
