DVB-T to IP gateway

[NumberFive]

Hi,

I was wondering can anyone offer some advise. The opportunity has arise for me to install a DVB-T tuner in another country I want to receive TV from. I have a high speed broadband connection between there and where I am (10+ Mbps).

The question is, can anyone recommend me a way to watch TV from there on my GBPVR receiver. Is there any software which will give me a DVB-T to IP gateway which I can then access over my VPN?

I'm aware that there are softwares such as Orb which will do re-coded streaming, but if there anything that will simply forward the MPEG-4 stream?

And this is a real long shot, but is there likely to be any means to record from those streams?

Plan B is that I'll just set GBPVR up on the remote computer and control it via EWA and browse the recorded files in my living room, but I'm holding out for a neater solution!

Cheers for any ideas!

Hi Graham,

That's an interesting idea, just wondering if there might be a Windows alternative? The machine I will be using has to run Windows.

Ah, but as far as I can gather the DVB-T to IP component only runs on Linux.

I guess there's a slight possibility I could run a Linux virtual machine on the Windows PC, but from the reading around I've done I'm thinking Orb might be the way to go. Will be interesting to see can I get Orb feeds working in Ubustream.

I have never attempted this using VLC or Orb or anything else, so it is entirely possible that I am wrong about almost everything ...

but, the graphic on this page does show VLC under Windows can be used to stream from a DVB card.

A few minutes of browsing the Orb website suggests that it might be the easiest option.

Hmm,

That Diagram does suggest it can do it. It'll be fun to see if it works. I'll keep you posted!

DVBViewer has a netstream plugin and I've used VLC on a remote machine to view a stream from another machine. How you'd change channels I don't know.
