This depends on your browser and plugins. You need a plugin
to play mpeg2 transport streams and then one would need to tell
the browser about the mime type served to run the plugin with it.

I think i had some success with firefox under debian/linux but i had
no idea on how to do it with windows and internet explorer. I didnt
find an out-of-the-box possibility to play mpeg2 ts on windows.
