Internet IPTV to a DM box - PLi Iolite

[jonc]

So was playing around here this morning with IPTV watching Setanta News as usual to catch up on the cricket and though it would be great to watch this on all the TV's here via a DM box.

Here is the result;




Procedure:

1. Install TVants (or the likes)
2. Open TVants to your TV channel and right click and select properties to see the localhost name and url you need for the next step
3. Open a network stream in VLC to this url above i.e.
4. Select streaming, and select save to file (raw) i.e. 21.asf
5. Open your browser to your DM box and do the normal restream. To do this see or search here, I wrote some stuff in here on this too. This will stream 21.asf back to your DM box via vlc


Now sit back and watch your IPTV on your TV via your DM box.

and here is the other way around.

From a DM box to any IPTV box ...

Here is a really simple way to set up your own internal IPTV network.

Use linux where possible (with a few gb of ram) but works just as well in Vista as this example shows using the Amino () IPTV set top box;

1. Open vlc to a DM box with the network option on port
2. select the stream option
3. select the udp option (default amino shown in the image)
4. change channel on your amino stb and watch your DM box via IPTV
5. use your webif to change channel if you are only using one DM box

This example shows CNN from the DM box to vlc to multicast via udp

Hi Jonc

This looks interesting. I was given a slingbox recently which allows me to remotely view TV over the internet, I suppose another option for IPTV.

Is there an option with this setup to view say in a web browser or other software over the internet?

Your basic sling control for the sling client is on port 5001 and I use many of them all being fed of DM500's and DM7020's, so yes know this well but not related to this topic sorry.

As to your question about the web browser. Do you mean for the slingbox or for a DM box?
