Tvheadend provides a HTTP streaming mechanism that can be used in conjunction with many different media players. However several clients also include support for the [[HTSP]] protocol that Tvheadend uses for both streaming and control, these give a much richer experience.

This is a dedicated Set-top-box (STB) client, written by [[Dave|Dave Chapman]], specifically for the raspberry pi. It aims to create a very simple, intuitive user interface similar to that you might expect of any off the shelf STB.
