Hi,
I was just wondering, if I want to watch live TV via a DVB stick only on one machine, why is it that there seems to be no way to do that directly via an add-on that works just like any DVB software like ProgDVB? I have not found anything that does not require to set up a TV Server and then connect to it via HTTP/HTSP/RTSP to stream from there even if it is installed on the same system. It might bring many advantages to use a TV server but if I don't want to stream from other machines in the network I would prefer to have a simple viewer add-on. Why? For me, it's mostly the switching delay when changing channels. With a DVB software it takes around 0.5 to 1 second. With a server it's at least 3 seconds. And there is a service in running in the background which drains resources (however little) and blocks the card while running which just seems unneccessary.
Have I overlooked something? Is there such a "simple" DVB viewer add-on?
Greetings!
