Overview

Cast4ME is an easy-to-use IPTV and DLNA server for Windows, allowing you to stream TV signals from TV tuners connected to your PC, through the network to multiple client devices on your LAN or via the Internet.

Cast4ME has advanced multiple-streams-per-digital-device capabilties, allowing it to be streaming multiple channel while only using a single digital TV tuner. Making full use of this capability, countries like UK, Australia, New Zealand and many other European countries can setup a full IPTV system, rebroadcasting all your channels with only a small number of TV tuners.

If your goal is to take an existing stream and restream it on a different web server, we suggest you take a look at our alternative Restream4ME software at https://restream4me.com
