Tvheadend

You don't have to, I've been running like this for a year now and it works great.

The challenge may be your tv tuner device, I use hdhomerun so it uses network connection and no configuration needed at all. If you have a PCI device you are out of luck, if its USB you can use https://www.virtualhere.com.

Best of luck!

I have a Digital Devices DVB-S2 Quad Tuner (PCI-E) :/ Is there no way to pass PCI-E from Win10 Host to a Debian Guest System?

Im not a developer so i cant compile the sources for Win10 by myself

There is no problem to use TVH in Windows 10 (not so native but)

go to Store and search for Ubuntu and install 16.04 or 18.04

There is no PCI passthrough yet, so need to take streams via playlist with Auto-network in TVH

To my knowledge there is no way to pass any PCI devices to anything on Windows 10

Other than getting another tuner I see no other way than to replace your operating system on your computer, and if I understand you correctly, that's not an option.

Far fetched maybe but... IF you can install a SatIP server on your computer that exports the tuners as SatIP, then Tvheadend could pick that up as a tuner - should work, but how to do that I have no idea what so ever.

Hyper-V and Windows Subsystem for Linux are different things

Hyper-V work on

• Windows 10 Enterprise, Professional, or Education
• 64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
• CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPU's).
• Minimum of 4 GB memory.
  The Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 Home.

I have Windows 10 Enterprise with a XEON E5-2650 V2 this shold work

is there a Sat IP server software for windows?

why you need this unstable stuff

Depending on why you are dependent on win10, it may be possible to do the reverse - install linux and run win10 in a virtual machine.

I need Windows 10 because of MadVR. Installing Linux and running Win10 in VM takes too mutch time for me. I have many server software running on Win10. maybe i use DVB Viewer PRO for Sat IP and Virtualboy runnign debian and TVHeadend. the i connect TVHeadend via SatIP to my TV Cards

+1

or VMWARE ESXi

Depending on your budget, you could replace the PCI card with a SATIP box such as a Digibit R1 at 130 euro/pounds. I don't have one, but people on this forum rate it. That would then allow you to run a virtual environment/hyper-v/virtualbox or whatever. Or even couple it with a $20 S905X android box running LibreElec with kodi and tvheadend.

I confirm (Ubuntu 16.04 on Win 10 Home + unstable TVH + HDHomerun tuner) works. Strangely, Ubuntu 18.04 or stable TVH didn't work.

hi, i have a pc with windows 10 home and i want to install a dvb server with a usb tuner and tvheadend...it's possible to make it? can you send me a guides.

thanks
PS: the usb tuner work perfectly on another pc with ubuntu and on another one with liberelec....thanks a lot for your help

Use vmware player or virtual box this is only solution with usb tuners.
