hello guys yes you are right a pci or usb device may be cheaper but in my case at 99 dollars each for usb and 108 dollars for pci didnt make since but in the thought of less pci buses on systems now was a big factor... then you have to double that cost as a single tuner will only allow one channel on that box so recording another is not possible... now being able to use this at any system in the network was the main idea... all this aside i do have the iptv plugin running but dont have it figured out yet... but if this could be add to it and support was added in the plugin think it would be a nice add on... having a channel scanner then a script that would convert that info would be nice to make things simpler... as far as Klaus adding this to vdr id say no when theres a plugin that it could be add to... make more since to do it as a plugin with native support for it... but as i dont even know how to write a plugin im lost at this point... this is why im asking here in hopes the guys that have or work on the plugins could help in pointing me in the right direction... i can then at least try to make it work... most of the guys who know me know i dont know a lot but i dont give up easy if it can be done... so im will to help if im told what and how too... i can at least try... abbe On 1/21/10, VDR User <user.vdr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 11:13 AM, Nicolas Huillard <nicolas@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> Le jeudi 21 janvier 2010 à 09:27 -0600, Rob Davis a écrit : >>> More native support could be good..
