Hello,
I've just installed a nightly build of xbmc on my atv2 and then set up the pvr using the Enimga2 (designed for VU+ but using it on an ET9000).
So far so good. Seems to work ok (Some things are a bit slow but the basics work for sure).
I'm testing it with the ET9000 on the same network as the atv2. But does anyone know how/if it would cope if I put the ET9000 in another location (another country actually) and streamed it over the internet?
Is the ET9000 sending a full HD stream (in which case I'd guess no) or is any transcoding going on?
If it isn't possible, the alternative is to use a PC to transcode (or maybe to ditch the idea of using an Engima2 device and just setup a Myth box)
Many thanks
John

Hi John
It should work as you expected if all the port forwarding stuff is set up right and you're having a dyndns...
There is only one big issue that is the main problem it's about the sending stream.
In this kind of Linux boxes (dream,vu,et9000) the outsending stream is the same as it comes from the tv provider there is no compression done.
This means for SD material about 6mb/s and on HD up to 15mb/s.
So if you want to stream over Internet you need that amount of UPLOAD or a bit more...
To get this is not very cheap here in Germany ...
Don't know how the situation it is on your side.
Also you have to have the ability to get this rate on the receiving side as download but this should not be the problem.
If you can't get the affordable upload you should look for a Slingbox Hd this devices can convert an incoming signal to a lower bit rate and than stream over the Internet using much less bandwidth ...

Yes, thanks Ralph, I was reading about it last night.
Basically I just need to to decide between buying a slingbox to attach to a satellite or freeview receiver, or a myth tv box (I have a spare machine and DVB-T and DVB-S2 cards)...

I think the new duo2 and solo2 receivers actually support on-the-fly transcoding...

that program seems to have bitrate control, but unfortunately i cant seem to get it to stream for me.
i get a message like " dont have rights"

i dont suppose anyone else has noticed that if the product "EnigmaTV" is used in conjunction with VU+ addon, then xbmc will only display buffering constantly, and never actually feed you any streams to view/listen to.
more specifically, if you remove the "params" file from the enigmatv folder on stb and reboot, then usual behaviour with VU+ playback will resume.
ive checked, and streaming ports between the two appear to be different, however, they both communicate with the enigma2 via port 80 .
thanks in advance,
Dam0

Yes port 80 is to get access to the web gui on dreambox/vu+, but the stream is done on port 8001
So you have to portforward port 8001 too and UDP not TCP

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place but I thought I'd ask as there are postinggs about ATV2 and Slingbox;
Can you work slingbox HD through an ATV2 using XBMC?
