[Freevo-users] Anyone used Tvheadend?

2010-04-27 Thread John Molohan
Hi,

I just came across Tvheadend, 
http://www.lonelycoder.com/hts/tvheadend_overview.html. I'm wondering if 
anyone here has used it and has any feedback?

 From their overview:

'Tvheadend is a TV streaming server for Linux supporting DVB-S, DVB-S2, 
DVB-C, DVB-T, ATSC, IPTV, and Analog video (V4L) as input sources.

It also comes with a powerful and easy to use web interface both used 
for configuration and day-to-day operations, such as searching the EPG 
and scheduling recordings.

Even so, the most notable feature of Tvheadend is how easy it is to set 
up: Install it, navigate to the web user interface, drill into the TV 
adapters tab, select your current location and Tvheadend will start 
scanning channels and present them to you in just a few minutes'

I've not used it but I understand that there is a plugin for XBMC that
uses it to display TV in XBMC. It does look very well down, just the sort
of thing Freevo 2 should be :-)

Cheers

Yes it looks like a lot of the hard work for the whole tv handling for 
freevo 2 might be there in tvheadend. I hope someone has the time and 
motivation to write a plugin :)
