The following describes how to watch TV with your DVB-Card
(tested with DVB-T and the Windows-Version of VLC)
- find out the frequencies of your location
- go to File/Open CaptureCard
- choose DVB DirectShow
- check your kind of card (DVB-S -C -T)
- choose first frequency and bandwidth
- click on play
If your stream has 'multiple' (for instance multiple sub channels, or you want to programmatically select a particular audio stream):
- when the channel plays, select playlist
- rightclick on the item, which is playing and select information
- go to stream
- here you can find all broadcast-channels with their service-ID
- write them down
- go to File/Open CaptureCard
- in the option-line at the bottom append a space (if not there) a : and the keyword 'program=', followed by one of the service-IDs
- it should look like: ...300ms :program=16214
- click on play
- that's your channel
- now you can rename this playing item of the playlist to your station-name
- and the same with the next service-ID
- and so on with the next frequency
Don't forget to save your playlist!
Have fun!
