A network is the type of carrier for your television signals. Tvheadend supports several different types of network, notably:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<li><b>DVB-C</b> : Cable TV, delivered via a cable to your house
|
|
<li><b>DVB-S</b> : Satellite (includes S2), so any signal coming in via a dish
|
|
<li><b>DVB-T</b> : Terrestrial, so over-the-air broadcasts received through a traditional television aerial
|
|
<li><b>ATSC</b> : Over-the-air terrestrial, common in north and central America and parts of south Asia
|
|
<li><b>IPTV</b> : IP, so over the Internet

<b>Buttons</b>
|

<hr>
|
|
Buttons have the following functions:
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>Add</b>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Add a new network. You can choose from any of the types described above.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Delete</b>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Delete an existing network. This will also remove any association with an adapter.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Edit</b>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Edit an existing network. This allows you to change any of the parameters you'd otherwise set when adding a new network, e.g. network discovery, idle scan, etc. - similar to using the check boxes to enable/disable functions.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Save</b>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Saves any changes.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Undo</b>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Undoes any changes.

<b>Columns</b>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
The columns have the following functions:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><b>Network Name</b>
|
|
<dd>The name of the network. This can be set automatically or you can give it a name that means something to you (e.g. if you have multiple OTA networks).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Network Discovery</b>
|
|
<dd>Whether automatic discovery is enabled for this network, i.e. whether Tvheadend looks for muxes or simply stays with the list of muxes as defined initially.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Skip initial Scan</b>
|
|
<dd>Don't scan all muxes in this network at Tvheadend start.
|
|
The initial scan procedure is not a blind scan. Only known muxes
|
|
registered to this network are scanned. If Network Discovery
|
|
is enabled and new muxes are discovered using DVB
|
|
descriptors, these muxes will be scanned too.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Idle Scan Muxes</b>
|
|
<dd>When nothing else happens Tvheadend will continuously rotate among all muxes and tune to them to verify that they are still working
|
|
when the inputs are not used for streaming. If your adapter have problems with lots of (endless) tuning, try to disable this.
|
|
Note that this option should be OFF for the normal operation. This type of mux probing is not required and
|
|
it may cause issues for SAT>IP (limited number of PID filters).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Ignore Provider's Channel Numbers</b>
|
|
<dd>Some providers will try to set a channel number so that every receiver is consistent - "tune to Channel x on 150". This option allows you to ignore this and let tvhheadend allocate a channel number itself.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Max Input Streams</b>
|
|
<dd>IPTV : maximum simultaneous streams that can be played.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Max Bandwidth</b>
|
|
<dd>IPTV : maximum bandwidth allowed for streams.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Max timeout</b>
|
|
<dd>IPTV : maximum timeout trying to play stream.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Network ID</b>
|
|
<dd>If you experience problems caused by overlaps between multiple network
|
|
providers this option can be used to filter which network ID is received
|
|
by a given adapter.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Ignore Provider's Channel Numbers</b>
|
|
<dd>Do not use the local channel numbers defined by provider.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>SAT>IP Source Number</b>
|
|
<dd>This field is matched through the "src" parameter asked from the
|
|
SAT>IP client. Usually (and by default) this value is 1.
|
|
For satellite tuners, this value determines the satellite source (dish).
|
|
By specification position 1 = DiseqC AA, 2 = DiseqC AB, 3 = DiseqC BA,
|
|
4 = DiseqC BB, but any numbers may be used - depends on the SAT>IP
|
|
client. Note that if you use same number for multiple networks,
|
|
the first matched network containing the mux with requested parameters
|
|
will win (also for unknown mux). If this field is set to zero,
|
|
the network cannot be used by the SAT>IP server.</dd>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>EIT Local Time</b>
|
|
<dd>EPG (EIT) events uses local time instead UTC.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Character Set</b>
|
|
<dd>The character encoding for this network (e.g. UTF-8).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Priority</b>
|
|
<dd>IPTV : The network priority value (higher value = higher priority to use muxes/services from this network).
|
|
<p>
|
|
<dt><b>Streaming Priority</b>
|
|
<dd>IPTV : The network priority value for streamed channels through HTTP or HTSP (higher value = higher priority to use muxes/services from this
|
|
network). If not set, the standard network priority value is used.
