Tvheadend

I've successfully run Tvheadend on an Odroid C2. While it is not an A64 chip, it is ARM64 (Amlogic S905). Runs fine, and without problems.

Hello,

I want to try the Rock64 as a tvheadend server too, it really looks great.

Could be possible to transcode streams with this hardware?

Kind regards.

My current server is a big mATX celeron-based build and contains my three HDDs and an SSD.

I hate leaving it on 24/7 as the vast majority of the time I am using it just for streaming Live TV or making/watching recordings (a few hours a night during the week).

I figured that if I use something like a Rock64 for all my recording/liveTV, I could just turn on the server whenever it was actually needed.

However, I have come across this:

Admittedly, rather expensive, but would seem an even better choice - just swap my current server for one of these.

Would save me space, noise and a fair bit of electricity too.

What do you think?

I am a bit worried about buying from such a small company - what if they disappear and my purchase develops a fault?

Invest in solar panel(s) then this unproductive and unsupported devices.

I hope that is a tongue-in-cheek response, saen acro - why the lack of love for these ARM devices?

I don't actually remember starting this thread (though it was over a year ago).

Thanks for your comments. I ended up going with an Odroid HC2 - has been absolutely flawless.
