Greetings.
* cousin_luigi
is contemplating the purchase of a fully OSS STB, but he's unsure about the overall feasibility.
<cousin_luigi>
Is there an all-in-one device that supports DVB-T2 and possibly DVB-S2 too?
mad_enz has joined #libreelec
<chewitt>
cousin_luigi advice depends on your budget and long-term intentions
<chewitt>
best option is some kind of sat>ip box that sits in the network to handle the head-end side of TV reception
<chewitt>
then using a dumb(er) client device for 'playback' of streams served from the network box
<chewitt>
supports multiple clients and avoids all the messing about with DVB drivers, firmware, etc.
<chewitt>
leaves you free to change client device as/when need, desire, or fashion suits you
<cousin_luigi>
chewitt: Sounds sensible.
<cousin_luigi>
Can you recommend one? Or do most sat boxes support streaming?
<chewitt>
numerous members of staff like the Digibit R1 with a particular custom firmware that exposes more options then the default one
<chewitt>
HDHomeRun(s) are also in service
<chewitt>
I have zero personal experience with them so can't give a proper endorsement
<chewitt>
where I live there is no terrestrial broadcast and rules of the apartment complex say no dishes .. and the ISP uses DRM encryption on their IPTV thing
<chewitt>
most of my TV comes from a friend's TVHeadend setup 4,500Km away :)
<chewitt>
on a lesser budget .. a USB tuner allows you to swap the device between boxes as you upgrade over time
<cousin_luigi>
chewitt: No thanks. I'm not into Christmas trees.
<chewitt>
Haupagge made a big effort to upstream their drivers into the kernel in the last year or so
<chewitt>
TBS are also fairly well supported, though needs a driver overlay in LE since everything is not upstream
<cousin_luigi>
"LE"?
<cousin_luigi>
Oh libreelec.
<chewitt>
their upstreaming is going in reverse due to lots of chinese clone devices and the misguided belief that not publishing sources will stop it
<cousin_luigi>
chewitt: I take those clones are cheaper?
<cousin_luigi>
Are they any good?
<chewitt>
no idea .. see previous comment :)
<chewitt>
expect the knock-offs to be cheaper due to using lower-bin chips, lower quality manufacturing and offering zero support
<chewitt>
even if you go the USB route, it's often a good idea to put the card on another device, e.g. an RPi board so you can find a kernel/firmware/headend combo that works
<chewitt>
then you can swap the client device as/when needed without having to run the software gauntlet on the new device

Well, you've given me food for thought, tyvm.
cousin_luigi has left #libreelec [#libreelec]
<shibboleth>
any chance libreelec might consider packaging vcam (middleware for oscam for verimatrix-protected iptv)?
<shibboleth>
also, independence.day.resurgance.foor.bar-geckos still won't play on librelec on rpi4
<shibboleth>
happened some time during 9.2, still works on < = pi3

<shibboleth>
yeah, i'm thinking more about the underlying issue, apparently a pi4-specific bug and i only mention that release for re-producability
<shibboleth>
about the other issue, re tvheadend+vmcam, is there an openwrt-like build toolchain for libreelec?
