According to those on the SD forums the Prime should be capable of tuning based on channel and program as well as vchannel. So its interesting that the tuning logic comes up again. While I enjoy the full screen media experience, its not as conducive to productivity as you'd think I'll often watch TV, and have since the early days with an old STB TV Tuner card 15 years ago in a windowed environment while I work. I've used it either through a Windows 7 server I have setup, or a VMWare Windows 7 VM with no problem at all.Īnd while this solution works its hardly a 'flipping' through the channels experience like EyeTV, as each time you want to change the channel you have to stop the stream, change the channel and start a new stream. I'll often just setup a stream to VLC through SinCast because its just a simplier way to accomplish the same task, and handles locking/unlocking of the tuner without you having to worry about setting the vchannel to 'none' when you're done so you don't lock the tuner out for your other apps. (I have absolutely nothing to do with Sinderon beyond finding mention of them in a forum post on SiliconDust.) While its easy enough, I've found I prefer the ease of applications such as SinCast which supports HDHomerun and is a ridiculously powerful IP streaming app, it costs a few bucks but having talked to the developer dealing with a couple issues he's on the ball, friendly and very active. from the command line you can then stream to an ip and a udp port. Hdhomerun_config set /tuner/target udp://192.0.0.2:1234You can setup a UDP stream which you can pickup in VLC, after setting a vchannel (virtual channel). Not yet known: the location of the device configs, or alternatively any interception of the checking for encryption.EyeTV appears to check encryption of a channel on tuning, not displaying anything if its encrypted (regardless of whether there's an actual picture.) Originally I thought this information may be stored in the channel info it captures but it appears to be tied to the device configuration info stored in EyeTV.EyeTV auto-scanning appears to be functional reading from all QAM frequencies, I havent hacked it to read a cablecard xml file channel list which would make this process certainly faster.Make sure EyeTV can communicate to UDP port 65001 to 127.255.255.255 if you have a strict NAT or firewall config.EyeTV uses its own compiled version of libhdhomerun, 3.5.4 appears more modified than 3.4.3.
