Tv headend on mobile laptop

Added by Peter Christy almost 7 years ago

Apologies if this has been asked before, but when searching for solutions, you need to know what to ask for - and in this case, I don't!

I have Tvheadend / Kodi installed on a laptop that I use when traveling around the UK. There are three locations I visit regularly, each on a completely different transmitter. Is there any way of saving the transmitter information for each location so that it can be easily recalled as required, rather than having to do a re-scan every time I move from one location to another?

I'm sure there must be a simple answer, but none of the searches I've carried out has found it!

Cheers,

Just create a network for each & enable/disable (assign it to the tuner) when required.

Merge all channels/services from the networks into one channel.

Many thanks for the prompt reply!

Thanks to that, I've figured out how to give each network an individual name, which should allow me to select the right one depending where I am. However, I'm puzzled by the second part of your answer "Merge all channels/services from the networks into one channel".

Could you be a bit more explicit on how to achieve that? (Sorry if I'm being bit thick here!)

Configuration->DVB->Services, there is a button "map services", select "map all services" and tick the box "merge same name". That will mean BBC1 on all three transmitters will be merged in to one channel.

Ah! Got it! It was the "merge" vs "map" terminology that was confusing me!

Many thanks!
