Hi all,<br><br>Setup:<br> - Full duplex 100mbps fibreconnection to my house<br>(<a href="http://www.dongenergy.dk">www.dongenergy.dk</a>), a 'packetfront' converts this into two ethernet<br>segments, one for broadcastbased service (TV etc.), and one for normal
<br>data.<br> - IP-based TV broadcasted through IBGP [Internet Broadcast<br>Gateway Protocol], i think.<br> - Linuxbased setop-boks from <a href="http://www.dbnet.dk">www.dbnet.dk</a> type Kreatel 1500,<br> now Motorola
<br>(<a href="http://www.motorola.com/content.jsp?globalObjectId=7461-10536-10544">http://www.motorola.com/content.jsp?globalObjectId=7461-10536-10544</a>)<br><br>I want to use MythTV for direct Ethernet based caturing, and playback -
<br>obviously :-)<br><br>What I know:<br> - Access to broadcast streams are filtered on MAC-adresses, and<br>perhaps on a embedded service-key.<br> - IP-based TV broadcasted is through IGMP [Internet Gateway
<br>Multicast Protocol], i think.<br> - Streams are as far as I know NOT encrypted.<br> - Streams are some sort of MPEG2 with bitrates from 4-8 Mbps.<br><br>What I have done so far:<br> - Tried to install FC5 + MythTV_0.20, but failed since I did not
<br>have any capture cards.<br><br>So what I want to ask:<br><br> * Has anyone on the list ever tried a setup like this?<br> * If yes, any guides for installing Myth for an<br>application without a defined capture-card (ie. Ethernet interface)?
<br> * If yes, what capture/TV interface is selected in the<br>setup.<br><br> * Is it at all possible to do this?<br> * First setup, would be leeching a single stream through<br>an ethernet-hub to the Mythboks.
<br> * Then getting/reversing the protocol used to get the<br>channels broadcasted (IGMP + ??)<br> * Getting the Myth-boks MAC allowed.<br><br>Is this even the right list to ask this?<br><br>
Hoping someone to shed some light on the questions above,<br><br>Nicolai<br></blockquote></div>There is an IPTV tuner being added to MythTV .21. It is available in MythTV SVN right now. I fooled around with it a while ago. I could tune into a channel on MythTV as long as it was already being sent to the set top box. I couldn't change the channel or tune any channel directly from MythTV though. Good luck. Keep us updated.
