<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the software suggestions. I'll look into them in more detail. Not being able to scan for channels does sound like a pain.

>My second thought is to set up some form of IPTV streaming for my PCI cards and use a network capture card for my recording. Is there support for using wake-on-lan to wake up network capture cards? Has anyone got any recommendations for what software to use to stream DVB-T and DVB-S over my local network?<br>
<br>
It is possible to use minisatip or TVHeadend to turn tuners into IPTV<br>
tuners, but unfortunately MythTV is unable to scan IPTV tuners for<br>
channels. So you have to have some way of creating and maintaining<br>
the IPTV channel list. I do this for my DVB-S tuners using minisatip<br>
and SAT>IP protocol, but not having channel scanning is a serious<br>
problem. I manually adjust channels in the database when things<br>
change.<br>
<br>
I have never used wake-on-lan in real life, but it does work if you<br>
set it up right. It can be fiddly to set up, and some LAN cards are<br>
better than others. How reliable it is I do not know.<br>
