The problem there is that DVArchive and the replays are not designed to
stream live programming, Even video, the replays will not streem live
from replay to replay, (though you can watch a show as it records on the
replay it's recording on) once it's recorded, then it can stream unit
to unit to DVarchive and back.
You can do that with a recorded audio stream on the computer too, Just
add a video componet (perhaps an Amiga bounching ball demo) so that
there is video to carry the audio TV's usually want both, Though I
think the Replay will blue screen w/o video input, I don't know if the
audio will carry but a Television signal needs both components to work
Use RTVtooles to make the stream plus video Replay compatable and DVA to
stream it to the replay
