machare Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 For a long time I have been able to watch French TV from 5W and latterly TF1 etc from 9E. However these transmissions have stopped, I have learned that there are 6 TNT FTA multiplexes. Can DVBViewer be used to view these channels? (I have read that this can be done using a TBS satellite card running TVHeadend.) Quote Link to comment
hackbart Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 You can watch all FTA multiplexes easily in the DVBViewer, if you have a DVB card and the ability to receive the orbital position. Christian Quote Link to comment
machare Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Thank you. That sounds promising. I have a Hauppauge WinTV DVB-S2 card in a Windows 10 desktop (tower) PC. Could I run a second copy of DVBViewer on my laptop and use that to display a French TV channel from my desktop PC? IIRC I was told that his was allowed a little while ago. Quote Link to comment
hackbart Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Here you can read under which conditions we allow using our software on more than one PC (see 3.) Anyhow, we appreciate any additional purchase. Christian PS: There is a demo version available, which you can use for testing. Quote Link to comment

(I have read that this can be done using a TBS satellite card running TVHeadend.) You have to be more specific about the FTA multiplexes. If you're referring to MIS-transponders which are used as feeds or backup for terrestrial transmissions, DVBViewer can't handle Multistream. 33E could be a 2nd possibility for French FTA channels (from Switzerland ) but the modulation is DVB-S2X. You'll need a special dvb-card and even then it's not sure if the DVBViewer can handle it because DVB_S2 extension isn't implemented yet. Quote Link to comment

Christian Are your quite sure? I think these would be dvb multi input stream signals. I wasn't aware that DVBViewer can decode these. Of course, I wouldn't mind to be mistaken. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showpost.php?s=1c142dfa0dae7b353e9baf70fb12fe69&p=84871171&postcount=37 Quote Link to comment
hackbart Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 In this certain case it probably won't work. Quote Link to comment
Derrick Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yes Indeed, it doesn't work Quote Link to comment
machare Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Pity! But thank you to everyone for the replies. Quote Link to comment
