DvbLogic / DvbLink TV Server, v5.5 Part 1 - TV Sources

Beginning of series of videos looking at the features of the DvbLogic TV Server package.

I use the DvbLogic DvbLink TV server software to manage my over-the-air TV content. More information on their web site: http://dvblogic.com/ In short, it is a network video server that can be run on a wide variety of platforms, from PCs, to NAS, Linux and even a Raspberry Pi. There are a variety of TV and EPG (electronic program guide) plugins for various countries around the world.

I use the TVSource package on top of the TVServer to manage my 2 pair of digital (ATSC) TV tuners for my home media system. DvbLink sits between the device drivers that talk to the physical tuners and any applications that sit on top and even to other devices that access the TVServer content over the network. Examples are Windows Media Center, Kodi/XBMC, or dedicated players on phones and tablets.

DvbLink handles are the nitty gritty hardware details and lets you manage things down to the level of channels names, which frequencies to scan, multiple sources of EPG data and even manage favorite channel lists and propagate that information to all the devices that access the TVServer.

I've been using this software for some years now and with the declining support for Windows Media Center I want to see if DvbLink can become a reasonable WMC replacement.

In subsequent videos, I'll show how this all fits together: https://youtu.be/TwwDpJD7htA
