Hello nisbus,
I have an amino IPTV STB hooked up to my MythTV system. I use a hauppauge
PVR-500 PCI card to capture the video signal. And I use an IR blaster to
change the channels on the STB.
Idealy MythTV should be able to capture the IPTV streams directly off your
provider's network. My provider refuses to allow this though. They insist
MythTV is not compatible with their system. I know this is not true
though. I was able to capture the IPTV stream using MythTV. But I could
not change the channel (I could only capture whatthe STB was displaying).
