If you ditch your shield and use something like a device with a more open linux distribution your choice of dvb-t2 usb devices might be higher (cheaper devices) but that would not solve your recording problem In the end i replaced my htpc with a sat>ip box (digibit r1, quad dvb-s2) and a odroid-c2 (more capable then raspi and ready made image from LibreELEC, also better driver support), recording and streaming is done by the xpenology box (tvheadend), so the xpenology is now the htpc but without the tuners and without the "head" The android app crashing might be a firmware issue. I have been reading their forum quite a bit and their devices seem to be still very buggy, at least the software that comes with it. IOS app works slow but fine on my older ipad, but the android app crashes on anything I've tried.ĭont have A Shield so can't speak for that, but DLNA streaming to VLC seems fine, that plugin is needed for PC/web streaming of channels. Files are MP4 container with 5 channel surround (if part of the stream) and subtitles (ditto) Recording path to a NAS is samba with IP address/folder path, user/password so on the NAS I created an account and recording folder with permissions etc - records SD and HD fine (on my gig lan snmp traffic shows a 1080p recording stream is 2-3 Mbit traffic from the vbox to the nas) A 10 minute test recording at 1080p created a file about 670mb. I've installed the VBox DVBT2 - and with early testing it has the usual mixture of quirksĮxcellent setup, well laid out interface via a web browser. Nvidia should have made the Shield with a tuner and that would have been the perfect device but I guess we live in an unperfect world. Already too many devices to think about just don’t want to add yet another one in my home. What you describe could be a solution but that means I need yet another device (rasp pi for example) and that’s really something I want to avoid. I had read that article yesterday but thought that it only applied to satelite. You get minisatip for lots of platforms, you could even use a router as base system (when you manage to install dvb drivers) Minisatip is a software solution to build your own sat>ip server, when using a linux base (it does not has to be x86, can be ARM too, like a raspi i guess), that way you could just use any dvb-t2 stick that works with the linux you install, the sat>ip can be used by tvheadend over network and the shield gets its signal from tvheadend as long as its not recording (with just one tuner there are limits), in theory with more tuners you can assign one tuner to dsm/tvheadend and have another network device (the shield) use the other tuner directly (without tvheadend), but i guess its better to assign all resourcses to tvheadend and use tvheadend for recording and streaming ![]() Sat>ip can be used with all kinds of dvb, not just dvb-s/s2 Maybe I miss something. Care to elaborate? Also I do not use satellite tv but terrestrial. I fail to fully grasp how that answers my question about the NAS being the storage host while the Nvidia Shield TV being the tuner host. ![]() Is there are way to use the NAS as a storage for DVR while having the tuner connected to the Shield? If that happens then I guess I will take that path but the question remains: How do I use my NAS to store live TV since the tuner would be connected to the Nvidia Shield. Nvidia said they will support more Tuners and possibly single tuners. Basically there are only two namely the HD HomeRun Connect from Silicon Dust (100USD) and the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner (70 USD). Maybe it would be best to go for a tuner that is compatible with my Nvidia Shield TV. Additionally Synology has clearly stated that DTV Dongle drivers will not longer be update starting DSM 6.2 so even buying expensive USB dongles does not guaranty anything. Only expensive ones like the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD or the PCTV DVB-T2 290e. Those that are cheap require module compiling and I do not want to go down that path as we all know what that means in terms of being future proof. There doesn't seem to be cheap, natively compatible tuners with DS3615xs. I would like to be able to see live TV and record on the NAS. So I have like all of you guys an XPEnology Box along with an Nvidia Shield TV (2017). That way I might have more complete answers. I think it is best if I expose what I want to achieve. ![]() The problem is I have more questions now. ![]() I created 2 somewhat separate topics (see below) hoping to find answers to a broader issue I am facing.
