I'll google if something better is out there. If you have a digital TV tuner, you can use the playlist as a remote to switch channels. You will need a channels.conf! Digital tuner operation via VLC only works in Linux. Operation in Windows is broken and isn't likely to be fixed. ******* In Linux, you can use "w_scan" to get a channel list and frequencies for OTA broadcasts. You cannot expect VLC to do antenna scans and build the list for you. VLC is not Media Center. Once you have the channel list, other steps will be a lot easier. Media Center bases its information on the Channel Guide, and works from there, and the Channel Guide only works properly when you find the incantation to enable Digital Tuning. Your tuner in Linux won't necessarily work if it needs a firmware file. The firmware file for mine is not in the Linux repository I use, but is available from the web site of a private person, for download. On the Windows side, I bought a copy of WinTV, which took maybe ten days to ship to Canada, with a CD in the CD mailer. They didn't do electronic purchase like you might expect. It's snailmail and physical media FTW. WinTV runs an Adobe Flash streaming server, and thus I can watch TV on this machine, using a web browser and pointing the web browser at the Test Machine which holds the TV tuner card. The overall WinTV experience is good, except the materials should all have been in the box (including the Linux firmware file, which is just extracted from the Windows driver anyway). If you want to run a TV tuner, have your Rocket Scientist credentials at the ready. It took me about four days, before I could verify the hardware was fully functional. I was pretty upset by my purchase experience at that point, and would have punched a Hauppauge staff member if one was in reach :-/ But, I got the miserable piece of crap running, eventually. Your one sentence, means days of work to get it running, if at all... Paul |
