TV Vlaanderen (or other digital satellite providers) and FireDTV (1 Viewer)

[Fatboysec]

Just a small question for the Belgian community? Does anybody have any experience with the use of MediaPortal and TV Vlaanderen. It's the only provider of digital TV in Belgium that doesn't force you to buy a crappy decoder.

I'm moving soon and I'm looking into the different possibilities. TV Vlaanderen and a FireDTV card should do the trick and offer me the possibility to configure the system how I want it.

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

I'm also very interested in this. So subscribed.

I also saw there's a tv-card from technotrend i believe is was that supports MHP and has a cam module onboard. I was wondering if this might work with Telenet....

I'm using two FloppyDTV-S2's with TV Vlaanderen, works like a charm!

I'm using a Technotrend TT3200S + CI in my MP Server.
By using MP 1.1.0 Alpha svn 23178, I'm now also able to pull down the TVV EPG using DJBlu's patch [https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/sky-uk-uk-freesat-epg-43261/] which is now incorporated in the MP code.
The previous versions of MP [1.0.0 -> 1.0.2] also work well but then you will need to apply the patch manually as indicated in the link.

Works like a charm.

Still looking for decent logo's...

Regards,

Peter

Fatboysec, lucifer,
I'm using FloppyDTV S2 in an old PC, in the attic, combined with Aston CAM and TV-Vlaanderen CIM.
Using a 4 head dish I'm receiving regular and HD signals and am able to bring them to the living room silent PC.
HD in MediaPortal is fully supported
(it still is in experimental phase in my setup, technical installation is 100% confirmed)

Fatboysec,
Don't know if you've moved yet, and if you decided on you setup.
If you did not yet decide on the setup: Mediaportal, to my knowledge, is the only windows based system that can be used in a client-server setup. And yes, it does support tv vlaanderen CIM and broadcasts.

Pletskop,
For EPG I'm using TVXB to download and process the guides from various websites and the xmltv plugin.
logos I use are from lyngsat website.

Best regards,
Berns

Just to let you know that I'm now using a combination of TVXB and m2xml and that I've replace my server software from v1.0.0 via v1.0.2 to v1.1.
With v1.1 there is a serious improvement on the server side, and another positive side effect is that HD channels from CanalDigitaal/TV-Vlaanderen (from my Basic Light TV Vlaanderen subscription) are working fine as well.
