You dont need VLC to stream the Vu Solo2 does it for you due to its processing capability, if you want to stream to say an iphone/android or tablet/ipad then download the Vu+ Player app from the store and fill in your details in the setup menu.
I for got to add that unless you have an outgoing static ip address from your BB company then you will also need a DYNDNS address as well so either No-Ip for this as they offer a free one

Thanks for your reply mate :-) I want to be able to stream a channel through the internet anywhere to a PC/Laptop. Is this possible just using the Vu solo 2?

As i explained above in the main menu its called Transcoding you have to enable this and open a port on your router, again if doing it externally follow the previous post
