Mhz (it's a bit more tolerant than that, but always yse Mhz)

Ksym/sec

-D 0 means nothing: 1..4 or A or B

use -net ip:port instead

it's generated according to diseqc, frequency and polarization

and what pids or programs?

you didn't tell dvbstream what to do

frequency:polarization:sat_position(diseqc):video_pid:audio_pid:service_id

as many as you stream, see at the bottom

there's no support for decryption in dvbstream

example:
dvbstream -f 11800 -p V -s 22500 -udp -net 224.0.0.1:5000 0 512 
650 -prog -net 224.0.0.1:5001 TV1 TV2 -net 192.168.0.11:3000 TV1 TV3 

and so on. In short, you can select the streams to transmit by name or
by pid and mix them as you want, eventually repeated
