Hello all,
Back to your problem, i think most cable tv operators do this (using proprietary software and/or hardware equipment), so perhaps consulting a few of them would be a good idea to get started.
Last year we had a session on pure data in sarai, and he was using webcam streaming with tickers. One can use pure-data on all platforms check their website at http://puredata.info/ Though I am not sure how will that fit with Tata-sky.
Ofcourse, i assume you are aware that doing this (modifying an ecrypted feed on a DTH system and rebroadcasting) is illegal and can land you in jail for about 5 years ? The courts have put heavy penalty on cable tv companies in Mumbai for doing the same thing with a ESPN cricket broadcast.
You can make an overlay without mucking their feed, though re netcast would be a copyright violation. Rebroadcast over the air is sedition you nasty spy. We know how you want to subvert the soverignity of the state.
