Luke 37163 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 OK, we hope to be able to support this kind of card in future updates. For now you'd have to import it via a live tv plugin such as nextPvr or Tvheadend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Am using that exact model and NextPVR v5 plus plugin to watch live TV at this very moment. Only a standard def signal, but what can you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodi_Newcomer 27 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 At the Alpha Testing section there was at last year a test for live TV with TV card inside emby, without 3th party Apps. I was in the Test. But now, there are no new News about the Progress. Thats because im asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance one day you would let me remote in and give me a demo/walk through of your setup? This would be some great info to have and could be added to the knowledge base as people ask about this from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) How many channels do you pickup via Sat this way? Does the card use BDA drivers? Edited March 5, 2021 by cayars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2500 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 yep, they are all BDA satellite is a combination of encrypted and free to air. Back 10 years ago there was a way to use a card reader with your valid subscriber card to unencrypt the pay channels but people started sharing the encryption streams over the internet and eventually they tightened up the encryption. AFAIK it still hasnt been broken. about 1000 channels in all, maybe 700 encrypted and 200 FTA then aerial is all FTA. the same set that is available with satellite, just some minor differences. this is the UK btw.

Carlo 4330 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 So UHF OTA is roughly about the same channels for you as the FTA Sat channels? Can you get a monthly subscription for the encrypted channels and record them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2500 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 yes only with a provider box OTA is much more common. almost all houses have aerials. Satellite originally was the upgrade to the premium channels but freesat (the provision of the FTA channels by satellite) is increasing albeit very slowly. you buy a tv with either a dvbT or DVBS tuner in, sometimes both cable is the third option but that is locked to the provider box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be some great info to have and could be added to the knowledge base as people ask about this from time to time. That can be arranged, should you so desire (unless you've got enough info off Spaceboy ?) FYI I have that card in my main Ryzen PC. Its pci-e and is used for DVB-S in New Zealand. Here we have DVB-T, DVB-S and some iptv / On Demand. DVB-T is I believe hi def and the satellite standard def. Obviously I can only get satellite. There's Sky via satellite in hi def as well, but I'm too cheap for that. I actually use the card with NextPVR, which works well. It gets the guide OTA (I presume) and adds mostly correct posters, and then via the v5 plugin to Emby and then to browser or Shield or FireTV. I generally Direct Play as I'm not into rewinding and pausing and stuff. Its a twin tuner and NextPVR can play more than one channel from the same mux (or whatever its called) at once, so its pretty good really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I did get some rather valuable info from Spaceboy on this but still wouldn't mind seeing it live/remote. Maybe even from both of you! You just answered another question that I did have which is can you pull multiple channels from the same mux without using the other tuner. The next version of Live TV (Next Gen) should be able to use boards directly via BDA drivers and not need other software. Next Gen Live TV can use MUXES even in the USA with OTA tuners. I've had 9 streams coming from my Quatro 4 tuner device! It all depends on what is on each mux of course. So if you are offering to do a remote with me I've love it. Same with you @Spaceboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just checking now and am transcoding 6 channels in Firefox at the moment. I guess thats more NextPVR than the card though... Don't think I ever tried that with next gen TV though. I can do a remote thingy. No idea what to actually do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Just let me know when you have some free time and can do a remote. Don't worry about trying to "show me stuff" as I'll totally blow that anyway with questions or wanting you to show me stuff. We can just work backwards from Emby to the tuner.

arrbee99 1561 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Now if you want. Not forgetting I just use it, which isn't really the same as knowing what I'm doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
