Yes - for that you just generate a multicast stream and any workstation
on the LAN that runs vlc set to read that multicast address can view it.

No, but you could have several machines with tuners feeding different
channels on different multicast addresses. Or one feed can play to only
one address instead of multicasting. Or you could capture shows to files
and replay them on demand.
