<div dir="ltr">Hello Nisbus,<br><br>I will expand on my experiment I did before and hopefully explain why it would be impossible to actually use that setup.<br><br>First of my service provider wont provide a DHCP IP address on their IPTV network. So I hardcoded my myth box to use one that was not currently in use.<br>
<br>That allowed me to snoop on the network traffic going to my amino box. So I was able to figure out the udp addresses of the different channels.<br><br>While the amino box was watching a channel I could configure the mythTv IPTV tuner to view that channel and that channel only.<br>
<br>When MythTV was watching a channel I could not change the channel on the amino box. I could not change the channel on MythTV even if I unplugged the amino box.<br><br>So all I did was prove that the MythTV IPTV tuner was compatible with my service provider's system. But I could not use the mythTV IPTV tuner in pratice.<br clear="all">

<font style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hi Ryan,<br><br>Thanks for the quick response.<br>I'm not that hung up on being able to change the channel through MythTV since I can just as easily just change it on the STB and that would change the input to MythTV (I really just want to be able to record from the STB.)<br>
When you did manage to capture the IPTV stream using MythTV did you then just connect the ethernet cable to the MythTV box or did you use the capture card?<br><br>Thanks,<br> nisbus<br><font face="Tahoma, Arial, Sans-Serif" size="2"><hr align="center" size="2" width="100%">

Idealy MythTV should be able to capture the IPTV streams directly off your provider's network. My provider refuses to allow this though. They insist MythTV is not compatible with their system. I know this is not true though. I was able to capture the IPTV stream using MythTV. But I could not change the channel (I could only capture whatthe STB was displaying).<br clear="all">

<font style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hi,<br><br>I've just gotten an old PC that I've setup Ubuntu 8.04 and MythTV 0.20.<br>The PC is a 1.2 GHz machine with 500MB RAM and no capture card.<br>
I also have an Amino STB which I would like to be able to record from using MythTV.<br><br>What are my options in connecting the STB to the computer so that MythTV can do something with it?<br>Do I need to connect the STB and the MythTV machine to a router so they can communicate or should I just remove the ethernet cable from the STB and connect it straight to the PC?<br>
Do I need to get a capture card to receive video/audio from the STB through composite/S-Video?<br>I'm a complete noob at this but I'm fairly good with computers in general (a programmer.)<br><br>What I basically want to be able to do is turn on my MythTV box and have all the channels from the STB available from there, with recording capabilities.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br> nisbus<br></font>
