h1. Clients
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.
Below you will find a list of a few that we are aware of, there may be more!
