 What do you use to stream it to mplayer or vlc?  Looks like the channel
 scanner has done the right thing.
 You can check what channels you should get using the hdhomerun website..

 For instance for my zip, I get this
 http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineup_web/US:61110#lineup_1173095

 Also looks like you're using ATSC over the air intead of Cable..

 Is there enough bandwidth to stream an HD mpeg2 stream on your network?
 I had trouble on mine when I used vdr-sxfe on a seperate box to the
 server.  I worked, but I couldn't access the internet as all my internal
 bandwidth was gone..

You really should consider write a new plugin (i.e. based on the iptv 
plugin) for it instead of hacking the iptv plugin. This would enable 
integrated channel scanner, dynamically assigned tuners, more robust 
zapping, ...

hello guys

lars that looks like a nice setup that real media has didnt even know
that was around...

rolf yes that i think maybe is the best idea but as like i said i dont
even know where to start as i have never made a plugin before... i can
write very simple scripts but this is going to need someone better to
help...

rob yes they do have there own channel scanner built into there

I'd make another 'pseudo' DVB input device plugin for this based on the 
current IPTV plugin. A quick look at the API reveals that you could 
dynamically add necessary number of provided tuners as done in IPTV 
plugin. You could also implement a channel scan functionality as done in 
IPTV plugin. I quess its' UDP/RTP transport is already compatible with 
the one implemented in IPTV plugin. The only requirement from core VDR 
would be the pluginparam patch (or similar) functionality.

My thoughts exactly.  I am pretty sure this would work as is with
vdr-iptv.  I had a quick look at some of the US versions and it looks
interesting.  I got vdr-iptv working with an external cable box and a
pvr card, so using a script we could send off whatever card was
necessary to change channels and bring in the input.  The downside would
probably be a long channel change time.

More native support could be good..  However, I wonder what the
advantage would be to having this over an internal pci dvb card or even
a usb one?  The pci card is surely cheaper, and the functionality is
already there in VDR?

It may be useful in a multi-client setup, where each client have no
storage nor DVB device, and the storage is a simple NFS server (tiny NAS
server with USB disks).
Different kind of setup than the usual server using storage and DVB
devices, to which diskless/deviceless clients connect.

 hello guys
 
 yes you are right a pci or usb device may be cheaper but in my case at
 99 dollars each for usb and 108 dollars for pci didnt make since but
 in the thought of less pci buses on systems now was a big factor...
 then you have to double that cost as a single tuner will only allow
 one channel on that box so recording another is not possible... now
 being able to use this at any system in the network was the main
 idea...
 
 all this aside i do have the iptv plugin running but dont have it
 figured out yet... but if this could be add to it and support was
 added in the plugin think it would be a nice add on... having a
 channel scanner then a script that would convert that info would be
 nice to make things simpler...
 
 as far as Klaus adding this to vdr id say no when theres a plugin that
 it could be add to... make more since to do it as a plugin with native
 support for it... but as i dont even know how to write a plugin im
 lost at this point... this is why im asking here in hopes the guys
 that have or work on the plugins could help in pointing me in the
 right direction... i can then at least try to make it work... most of
 the guys who know me know i dont know a lot but i dont give up easy if
 it can be done... so im will to help if im told what and how too... i
 can at least try...
 

Can you get the channel scan done from something else and post a mplayer
or vlc command for each channel.  Once you've done that I'll knock you
up a quick iptv script..
