I've just got my Dreambox 500-C and loaded it with with DW UK 1.6, everything is working so far.

I would like to watch cable on my PC, streamed from the Dreambox. I'm going into the web interface and clicking the VLC button and then opening the m3u file with VLC. VLC loads but nothing seems to happen. I notice about 3-4mbps are being used on the PC's network card which would suggest to me that the stream is being sent ok. I've tried the latest version and 0.8.2 as suggested elsewhere. Can anyone advise?

lower the resoultion of the stream in VLC, and you should start to see a picture.

I don't seem to have that option as under video it says "empty". I used a program called VLCRape for my D-Box and that sort of worked. Is there anything similar on the Dreambox?
