DVBLink for IPTV

DVBLink for IPTV is an efficient and reliable software solution that was developed to offer you the ability of accessing the digital television and radio channels provided by your ISP, as well as IP webcam streams, so you can watch or record them on your computer or TV set.

The application features a fairly complicated installation procedure, requiring primarily that you install DVBLink Server on your computer, then configure it from your web browser, by accessing the corresponding localhost address.

Subsequently, you can browse through the existing options and install DVBLink for IPTV, but you can also try an offline installation, by loading the downloaded file into the server. Nevertheless, the comprehensive help documentation can assist you every step of the way.

When the initial setup is complete, you can begin adding the TV and EPG streaming sources into DVBLink for IPTV. In the case of the former, you need to specify its name and choose a local or a remote playlist, along with the corresponding network adapter.

You will then be able to view the numerous available channels and add them one after the other to your selected source. At this point, you can also merge or split channels, as well as adjust their settings. Moreover, DVBLink for IPTV enables you to view a series of statistics concerning each streaming source, referring to the bitrate and the encountered errors.

When adding EPG sources, you can opt between MC Guide Services and XMLTV, depending on your individual preference; you will then need to define the refresh interval and the grabber configuration, choosing one of several ‘Types’ (‘Autodetect’, ‘XML’, ‘ZIP’, and others).

To conclude, DVBLink for IPTV is a useful, yet rather complex and difficult to understand application whose main purpose resides in offering you the means of watching live TV on a variety of Windows MediaCenter extenders, including mobile devices.
