My parents have a satellite dish and one receiver to watch free-to-air DVB religious programming. The satellite they are aimed at has several video and a audio channels they are interested in. I have found a Broadlogic 2030 card and wish to make it usable for them. Would it be possible to place this in a stand-alone computer in the wiring closet and remotely chose what channels to watch or listen to on another computer in the house? Is that what the server/client portion allows? I just found this site as I was researching how I could use the Broadlogic 2030 card. Would the client be able to record a program for later burning to DVD?

AFAIK, yes and yes.

Burning to DVD may require a short reprocessing by ProjectX or PVAStrumento, to correct internal time codes, fix header info, packet constraining and similar.

Though, you got to know, that some MPEG2 DVB TV transmissions are using non-DVD-compliant modes, related with video resolution, data rates and alike, which nevertheless would play on most modern DVD players without recoding, but not on all.

The server (in the wiring closet) might even work without mouse / keyboard / screen, if remotely administrated, like with VNC.

However, this is all from me on this subject now, as I am not using LAN streaming over here.


Please let us keep religion issues out of here strictly, any kind of.
Does not matter technically, at all.
Someone's god might be somebody else's devil.
And then supposingly both are misleaded heavily...
We Europeans MUST be very sensible on this, so better not touch.
Same goes with mission, genealogy business or anything similar.

ProgDVB only here, and nothing else.
