 configures a CAM module, and demultiplexes the packets to several RTP
 outputs. It supports the new S2API of linux-dvb (compile option).
 
-The configuration file for RTP outputs can be reloaded without losing
+Output to UDP rather than RTP is also supported so those IPTV set top
+boxes that don't do RTP over multicast can also use the streams.  
+This functionality is not recommended and should only be used if
+absolutely necessary.

+The configuration file for outputs can be reloaded without losing
 a single packet. MMI operation and monitoring are provided with an
 external control program using a Unix domain socket.
