go for the simplest and easyest option and use VLC

you could also use any of the other apps people are pointing to at the same time (assuming good enough CPU)if you use this analogue (not DVB)video spitter that paul1974 found

"SplitCam
SplitCamera is a freeware virtual video clone and split video capture driver for connecting several applications to a single video capture source.
Usually, if you have a web camera or video camera connected to your computer, you cannot use it in more than one application at the same time, and there is no standard Windows options that makes it possible.
Split Camera driver allows you to easily multiply your web-camera (any models), video cameras ( any model: analog or ditial : VHS, DV, TV-IN or TV-tunner ) in video chat or video conference software like ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Skype Video, Camfrog, AOL AIM, Pal Talk, or whatever... and to broadcast it to many users at a time.
With SplitCam you can connect up to 64 clients to a single video source. In a few words: Split Cam does just what its name says: it splits the video stream coming from the video source and tunnels it to numerous other client applications. "
