Recording from a digital receiver with an HDMI cable

Added by Boris Marić over 6 years ago

Please help I have a maxtv receiver and the only output is HDMI, not a coax connection. Can you rest your computer and receiver with an HDMI cable and streamline programs in Tvheadend

Thank you

You need something to capture and encode it with, e.g. a capture card or network encoder.

Do you have a recommendation for a capture card for a PC to connect to a receiver with an HDMI cable?
Can I install on Windos 10 OS?
Thank you

There are loads online, I don't have a specific recommendation, but anything that can capture 1080p should do it.

I currently have two HS602-Ts (sold under many brands) [1] [2] that fits the bill but I haven't used them with tvh yet as I'm still writing the control software that's platform independent.

Can I install on Windos 10 OS?

Tvheadend? sort of, but you're on your own with that as it's unsupported.

Capture device? Sure but it depends on the device.

Thank you
