Dear list,
can you please share your experiences of using Alice homeTV [3] with vdr. Some more information [4] and [5].
1. How is the quality [1]?
2. Does it work with the iptv plugin [2]? If not, what are you using?
Thanks a lot,
Paul

In theory it should work with the iptv plugin. Alice is using usual IP-Multicast (MPEG-TS, H264, IGMP) to transmit the cannels. For Video on Demand they are using RTSP with MPEG-TS + H264.
But you need an VLAN enabled network or you need to have 2 network cards, as the HomeTV is only available on a dedicated port on dsl-modem.
I have not tired it out with VDR, I could watch HomeTV with VLC.
