Some questions:

Have you completed a channel scan on the tuner(s)?

Hooked up to cable TV?

Are you using a CableCard installed in the unit?

They are probably DRM channels, right?

That would be my guess.

yes

what can i do?

[Luke 40082]

Emby Server is not able to import DMR channels at this time. Are you on a windows machine?

[deadscope 0]

yes

To my knowledge there is no longer a DRM capable program like WMC. If you are on Windows 7 I suppose you could run WMC and use epg123 for the EPG data.

A hardware solution like TIVO is also a possibility.

If you have a model that can use a CableCard then that would work. The Roamio models I know have a slot for a CableCard. There may be others.

 

Also I should mention that the HDHomeRun DVR software will record DRM channels depending on your OS platform. I quit following the HDHomeRun DVR development some time ago. Windows 10 was one of the platforms that was supposed to support DRM channels at SOME point. Android I believe does support DRM with their software package.

 

I would check with SiliconDust for the status of DRM and what platforms are currently supported or will be. Perhaps someone here with more current knowledge can help with that question.

There may be someone here that can help with that.

 

What is it that you can't figure out?

when i choose other tivo doesnt show up and i dont see a enter manually section

[kanipek 229]

Ah I see you are trying to add the Tivo as a tuner in Emby?

[deadscope 0]

yes

[kanipek 229]

I don't believe that is possible.

 

There was some talk on the forums here of developing an Emby app for the Tivo, don't think that has happened yet.

 

I did find this:

Maybe you could use it in WMC and import into Emby via the ServerWMC plugin? 

[kanipek 229]

Yes as long as you are using Windows 7/8 then DRM shouldn't be an issue.

since im completely   new to live tv setup no idea what that is

[deadscope 0]

im using windows 10

As far as using the tuners in Emby you will be limited to the non DRM channels - From your posts it looks like you can get 1 channel that is not encrypted, 20 that are encrypted(but no DRM) and 40 that are encrypted with DRM.

 

So 21 of those channels you will be able to use in Emby - LiveTV and recording -- Have you gotten as far as actually setting up the EPG and viewing LiveTV?

 

I did a quick search on the SiliconDust forums and it appears as though they have got the DRM working with W10. So using the HDHomeRun DVR software is another option for you. 

 

Does any of that make sense?
