Ok so here is my dilemma,
My other half has bulsatcom (bulgarian cable tv) she pays for this and we are happy to continue doing this. In the us they have the hdhomerun hd4 so you can watch us cable subscriptions through plex. In the uk we can do this with the freeview system but not cable subscriptions (annoying) the bulsatcom comes down a regular skydish and into a hd reciever. Now if i could plumb this into the plex system and share it around the network like hdhomerun... that would be spectacular. I have tried adding the iptv feeds into plex but it just cant manage to play them for some reason. I can use iptv app and that works by giving it the online addresses of the channels but i think this is not necessarily legal even though i pay a subsciption to the service so one could argue im paying for it does it really matter how i view it.
If there a way to some how convrt the actual "sky box" if you like to feed ovr my network and if possible into plex tv channels but if not another way? I have been looking at slingbox but this seems more focussed on sending out to mobile devices. I have no issue paying for my subscription to the service but would love a hdhomerun box like the us one that takes the subscription card and shares it over you internal network.
All ideas welcome and hope i have explained well enough what im trying to do.
