Hey there,
I'm about to buy my first linux reciever. Probably four of it. So far we used TV Cards in PCs in combination with bulit in TV receivers.
What I'm looking for:
- Satellite receiver (single tuner)
- capable of Sat>ip
- oscam client
- capable of playing files from a nas. As "neatly" as possible. I'm used to kodi, there is also a Mysql database in the network with the movie information, so all kodi clients have the movie list.
- ideally it should be usable for older people, 77 and 81. The current build in TV software is not a problem. But there for stability would also be great. as they need a device that "simply works"
- no HDD
- no 4k needed
I'm fairly familiar with linux but not at all with linux recievers so far. A basic artikle about the topic would be great! There are a couple of buzz words that I came accros, but I can't really tell them appart. Enigma2, newminga2, dreamos, openpli, black hole, openatv, gemini project 4 - if someone could shed some light on this, that would be great!
I came across the DM 525 combo, which also adds an DVB-T tuner, which would be nice. But then I read that the maker doesn't support the enigma2 community and therefor isn't supported in many ways.
As a bonus, it would be great, if there would be a plugin for TV Station streams form the internet, which can be made accessible by vpn (one of our vlans is behind a vpn, so the linux itself doens't need to make the vpn connection). But that would really be the cherry on top of the whipped cream... and by no means a must...
I really hope you guys can help me out!
