Sommet Sports - NZ

JonnyCam — Mon, 20 May 2013 02:50:58 GMT

Do any NZ users know what I need to do to receive the new sommet sports channel through NextPvr?

I know it's only into testing, but want to see if I can get it hooked up.

Thanks

I'm sure many have seen this already, but I just saw it this morning and can't get over how awesome it is:

Netflix, Lovefilm, iPlayer etc

akis — Wed, 01 May 2013 23:26:35 GMT

Hello, I have a basic question:

Is there support for internet based TV/movies such as Netflix, Lovefilm, freeeps, youtube etc?

I have just installed NPVR version 2.6.2 - I cannot find any of those. I have looked under "plugins" but did not find anything.

Thanks

Sub,

I've just realised I've missed my usual Easter donation the the cause, what is the status of donations? I seem to remember you had some bother a while back with paypal or similar?

Anyway, if all is well I'll hit the donate button...and hopefully this will remind a few others too.

NextPVR and Roku Channel

btpoole — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:01:11 GMT

Has the idea to development Roku channel for NextPVR stopped? If so, is anybody streaming their recordings from NextPVR to their Roku?

Happy Birthday Jaggy

CableCard

CodeMonkey — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:10:39 GMT

I'm trying to make some sense out of the CableCard DRM stuff. There is some good information in these forums but I'm hoping someone can answer a couple questions.

1) NPvr, I'm given to believe from these forums, works with the hdhomerun prime and the ceton infinitv cards. But only if the content is marked as "copy freely". Is this correct? And if so, is there a way to determine what channels that I currently receive are marked copy freely before I buy one of those cards and a cablecard from my provider?

2) Did NPvr need to license anything from Microsoft for PlayReady or some other DRM to work with these cards?

Thanks!

H/W Quick sync transcoding from the command line.

mvallevand — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:23:00 GMT

For those of you with Intel Graphics that support Quick Sync who also want to do video transcoding it might be worth checking out babgavant's new utility QSTranscode. http://babgvant.com/files/folders/ra...ntry21946.aspx I have an HD4000 (on an i7) and it surprising fast, and I already consider it a must have.

Bringing an iPad to NZ

mikeh49 — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:11:25 GMT

@NZ guys

A friend's son is yachting the South Pacific and summering in the Bay of Islands/Opua in NZ. The son has asked the father to bring him an iPad. What are the considerations as far as customs, duties, etc? Would it be expensive if the intent was to leave the device there, but ultimately return to the US with it?

Thanks.

OptusD1 from a Sky oval LNB

Jaggy — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 01:58:52 GMT

Does anyone know if there are any tricks or things you have to do to get D1 from a Sky (from his description I'm fairly sure it's an oval) LNB??

My brother has just moved flats (& cities) to where he can no longer get DVB-T reception so is trying get freeview from D1 via his NovaS card but it will only receive OptusC1 & not D1.... he has got hold of a cheap set-top DVB-S box & it gets all the freeview channels fine so they are there, the problem is how do you get it to switch the LNB (?) to the D1 one from the computer??

NextPVR on betanews

It's a good day for NextPVR Here's another positive NextPVR+ XBMC PVR thread http://betanews.com/2013/02/05/get-l...rking-in-xbmc/

There are a number of third-party options available to you depending on which platform you�re running XBMC on, but we�d recommend NextPVR if you�re running Windows and MythTV if you�re running Mac or Linux.

NextPVR on Lifehacker

roy — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:26:41 GMT

I suspect the forum might get a little busier soon.

lifehacker.com

I recently installed XBMC and I am also playing with Raspbmc. Very nice work by all. Won't take me away from NextPVR right now, but if my PCH's die it's a nice path.
