Will SiliconDust new Premium TV feature be comming to NextPVR?

[Maverick]

I see getting the Guide data for the cable channels integrated into your existing Guide data a potential /major problem. As I get my OTA from Schedule Direct, where would I get the Guide data for the Premium channels.

I see this as an option for cord shavers, not cord cutters.

If they did not have ESPN, they could offer this for under $30/month.

If you are looking for more channels without sports then have a look at https://try.philo.com/ 40 channels for $16. It probably will not work with NextPVR as they have their own app, but that might be an option for some. I had considered it myself, but decided I didn't need more channels.

I had a few minutes to play around with this today. I couldn't get the scan to pick up any of the new channels, however I am able to watch them as an IPTV source.

I opened the my.hdhomerun.com page and opened the channels lineup. I copied the link address for each channel into the IPTV device defined in my npvr install and gave each one a name and a channel number.

With this I am able to watch these 3 channels. Playback looks pretty good even though I have npvr installed on a windows VM.
I need to read up on how to create an m3u file to import all the channels at once.

Did you try going to the Settings->Devices tab, double click the 'HDHR' device (not ATSC/QAM), then hit the scan button?

[dgeezer]

Yes. If I go to any of the HDHR devices it scans and immediately shows the OTA channels I have enabled in the my.hdhomerun.com lineup and stops.

I just tried it a few more times.

If you open http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml?show=unprotected in your browser, does it list these extra channels?

[dgeezer]

No. I just get this:

Is http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml the same? (ie removing the ?show=unprotected)

[dgeezer]

Yes. http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml gives the same results. OTA only

http://<ipaddress>/lineup.html shows all the channels including the new premium channels

[sub]

http://<ipaddress>/lineup.html shows all the channels including the new premium channels

I can parse the html if necessary - but that is less than ideal.

Is http://<ipaddress>/lineup.json the same as xml, and just showing the OTA?

I'm guessing they have some extra http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml?show=premium or similar. One of you guys that can get these channels might need to do some investigating. ie, maybe look at the http requests in Wireshark or similar?

[sub]

Apparently if you were a subscriber, http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml would include these channels.

If you're just viewing the demo streams, you have to include http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml?show=demo, which is why you're not seeing them in NextPVR at this stage.
