Do any SDRs work with Tvheadend?
Added by Gere mia almost 8 years ago
Do any software defined radios (SDRs) work with Tvheadend, e.g., the SDRPlay ( http://www.sdrplay.com/ )?
This person used the SDRPlay to decode ATSC: https://coolsdrstuff.blogspot.com/2015/09/watching-atsc-hdtv-on-sdrplay-rsp.html?m=1
He used GNUradio: http://gnuradio.org/
His blog post also mentions how the SDRPlay hardware itself has been used in Europe to decode TV and radio.
thanks

I received this email from SDRPlay Support:
The API [http://www.sdrplay.com/docs/SDRplay_SDR_API_Specification.pdf] provides IQ data so you would need something that takes IQ into a demodulator for the standard you are interested in. If you can find that then we provide API documentation so that you can write some software to setup the RSP correctly to get the right IQ stream for your demodulator software.
So, I suppose I need to figure out what demodulator software takes IQ streams.
