Dear everyone,
some German providers offer IPTV. Public stations are broadcasted using DVB IPTV/multicast(?) [1][2] and I can watch them using a special port of the provided modem and for example mplayer.
Do you know if it is possible to watch also private stations on the computer? Using the provided Set-Top-Box and a smartcard(?) it is possible to watch those and even stream movies from a videothek.
I did not find any information or tutorials on the Web.
The thought behind this is, if I could not do this, if it would be useful to build a PVR with vdr, if I was not able to play those stations¹. One way solution would be to use DVB-T. But I would like to circumvent that.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
¹ Sure, it still has advantages like the possibility to surf the Web and to set up everything to my need. But the main point is still to watch TV.
