Tvheadend supports all DVB types (DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-C) so Tvheadend can also be used on the Ziggo DVB-C network.

Because Ziggo is using the NIT-Others tables to provide the actual frequencies of the transponders you need to specify what your network ID is on the dvb adapter configuration page. Your network ID can be found in the installation manual of Ziggo.

Once you have added your network ID you can press the "Add DVB Network by location" button. In the selection screen select netherlands and then Ziggo. This will add the 4 default transponder frequencies of Ziggo to the Multiplexes tab. Using the given Network ID it will now start to automatically discover the other multiplexes and the services that are available on these multiplexes.

This process might take some time to complete. Once this process is finished  you will notice that Tvheadend will have found all the available services on the Ziggo network already.

In order to actually record the Ziggo services you need to press the "Map DVB Services to channels" button.

Tvheadend will then try to see what services are actual TV channels and will map the service to a channel. Because most Ziggo services are encrypted it will only map the FTA channels.

In order to watch the encrypted channels you need to have a cardserver available within your own local network that understands the newcamd protocol (for example [[NewCS]] or oscam). You can then add that server as a Code Word Client on the configuration page. Both [[NewCS]] 1.67rc1 and oscam 0.99.4svn have been tested and verified to work with Tvheadend for decrypting scrambled channels [[tvheadend_oscam_ziggo|Oscam HOWTO]].

If you now press the "Map DVB Services to channels" button you will see that it will also map the encrypted services that your smartcard allows to channels.
