Hi to all,
I hope anyone in here can help me with my project. I am looking for a solution for viewing some channels at home. As I live in a rented flat in Germany, I am not allowed to install a normal/big satellite dish somewhere on the roof. The only option I have and allowed to is to install a Kathrein BAS-65 dish in front of my window. The dish will have a clear view and should be aligned to Europe's Eutelsat 3,1° E. The signal strength should be clear enough as I see on this beam illustration. My goal is to get the greek TV channels which are broadcasted by DIGEA on the particular Eutelsat 3,1° E satellite. These channels are encrypted with BISS. I would like to be able to view these BISS encrypted TV channels in the livingroom TV (=Samsung smartTV), but also in the kitchen's TV and on my Android Tablet. I do not care about simultaneously watching, so it's not important to allow "parallel" view on each device. I just want to be able to use the various devices I have to view the TV channels.
Now the challenging part...
The installation location of the dish is far away from living room and kitchen and I definitely am NOT ALLOWED to drill holes through walls to lay cables to my living room or kitchen. But at the installation location there is my internet router and network switch located, so this brought me to following idea:
I could encapsulate the SAT/TV signal into ethernet. I had heard of the newcoming technique SAT>IP (SAT 2 IP) which sounds amazing to me. On www.satip.info everything is documented fine and there are a lots of SAT2IP capable receivers available. It would be easy: I could buy such a SAT>IP Server and connect it with my sateliites dish LNB and my Gigabit (1 GBit/s) network switch. Then I only need a SAT>IP capable client which are available as Set-Top-Box or as software (for example, iPhone, Android, ...) and I'm done, right? At the living room I don't need any hardware, because my Samsung TV is a smartTV and has a DLNA client integrated which I could use.
but! ...
I won't be able to view the DIGEA TV greek channels because they are BISS encrypted. Damn! So I have to make these channels somehow visible. I have heard about a CI module called MaxCam Twin V2 which can be used with the Fortuna v2.20 Firmware to allow the use of BISS. Is that true? So I would need another SAT>IP server. I have seen that this Octopus Net SAT>IP Server has a CI slot available. So I could use the mentioned CI module on this Octopus Box and I will be able to view the BISS-encrypted channels on ALL the DLNCA clients in my LAN ??? Or won't that work as expected???
thanks to all.
