A magazine to discuss Digital Terrestrial Television (known as Freeview in the UK)

Technical discussion and channel changes and rumours encouraged!

Discussion of other DTT systems around the world is good too, as well as programmes, although there may be better groups for these topics, such as !britishtelly@feddit.uk

For teletext discussion, see !teletext@fedia.io

This is a complementary service to the @ukdtt@botsin.space Mastodon bot (posts automated channel changes), and associated Discord/Linen server.

Rules

No discussion of illegal activities, eg (but not limited to) hacking of receivers, decoding PIN-protected channels, or where to download/watch TV shows illegally.

Does anyone run a tuner into a server and stream the video around the house? (feddit.uk)

My daughter wants a TV in her bedroom now she's a little older but threre isn't a coax point around. I have an aerial on the roof split to other rooms.

I do have a small server rack in the attic next to the splitter and was considering hooking into the server, has anyone ran their tuner into a PC and then streamed/transcoded the video around the house?

What software did you run on the PC and what dd you run client side?

Thanks :)
