From what I just read about TSREADER, you need to feed the MPEG-2 stream to a FTA PCI or PCIe receiver card in a PC. Unless someone has been able to install this application into a stand alone FTA receiver (such as Azbox)?
No, there isn't any way to install TSREADER on the Azbox. The point I was trying to make is that receivers in general can usually populate their guides if one exists, but that they usually don't exist, but then I gave the example of how I use the OTA guides all the time with TSREADER, but just commented that some receivers which do OTA ATSC don't seem to have working guides on the OTA channels, even though their guides work on some DVB channels. Just was indicating that TSREADER is at least one example by which you can use both DVB and OTA guides.... if they exist.
That being said..... I had remembered seeing some "streaming" feature on the Azbox , but I never tried it. It just occurred to me that this might possibly be a way to use TSREADER with the Azbox, at least to some limited extent, ie for just a single channel, rather than the whole mux. However, I can't seem to get it to work, and I'm not sure if it's HTTP or UDP streaming. I tuned in a channel on the Az, and hit the little menu button, and selected streaming, and gave it the IP# of one of my computers running TSREADER, and selected a port number. I then went to that computer and tried to receive the stream in both HTTP and UDP mode, but I got nothing. I'm not sure what the problem was. Perhaps I have to start TSREADER before starting the streaming? Anyway, I'm curious if anyone else has tried this streaming function, and if so, how did you set it up?
I guess when I have more time, I'll turn on a packet sniffer to see what's happening, and perhaps try with VLC instead of TSREADER.
It probably wouldn't include any guide info anyway, which was the reason I started thinking about it, but I'm still curious about whether the streaming function actually works.
