PVR backend in North America - vineet381 - 2014-09-02 Hi, I am still new to xbmc, have a matricom mx2 box running SPMC and wanted to see is I can use my synology 112 to record TV shows. I emailed synology support to see which DVD is compatible with my nas and this is what I got " Thank you for contacting Synology Support. Unfortunately the DVB-T standard isn't supported within north america, the north american standard is ATSC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATSC_tuner so you will not be able to record." So does this mean I can't have a pvr backend with my xbmc to record shows? Thanks, Vineet RE: PVR backend in North America - FernetMenta - 2014-09-03 Sure you can have a backend but this won't be the Synology. RE: PVR backend in North America - vineet381 - 2014-09-03 Thanks, can you name a few if it's ok ? RE: PVR backend in North America - FernetMenta - 2014-09-03 You find the list of PVR bachends on top of this page: http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=167 TVH, VDR (VNSI), MythTV are popular on Linux systems, choose one the others if you prefer Windows. Then you need a tv card which is capable of ATSC and supports the OS. Many NAS products are running Linux so users can use them as a PVR backend too. Maybe this is true for Synology as well but they simply never have tested ATSC and don't officially support it. Visit this page for a list of Linux ready ATSC Devices: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_Devices Take this as an example: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr850.html, approx. $60, plug it in some Linux Box, install TVH, VDR + VNSI, or MythTV and you have your PVR backend. RE: PVR backend in North America - jayleekay - 2014-09-03 I use my synology with dvblink package. Antenna is attached to the hdhomerun pro RE: PVR backend in North America - hdmkv - 2014-09-03 (2014-09-03, 13:16)jayleekay Wrote: I use my synology with dvblink package.

Looks like Synology plug-in will work, but you don't get any guide data for U.S. PVR backend in North America - sgibbers17 - 2014-09-03 I have used serverWMC very simple and works well, and Argus TV which is significantly harder to set up but has much more control of scheduling. RE: PVR backend in North America - vineet381 - 2014-09-03 thank you guys. I will try ServerWMC. EDIT: looks like ServerWMC is windows only jayleekay- do you use your synology with DVB in USA? also what model is your synology? Mine is 112 and I want to ensure DVB would work on it. Re: PVR backend in North America - nickr - 2014-09-04 There is no dvb in north America. RE: PVR backend in North America - jayleekay - 2014-09-05 I have a 213j I believe. It has the armada370 and use atsc . mc2xml to get my EPG and it works great. |
