Hi guys,

thank you for all answers!

Just for playing a bit around, I have now ordered a Meccol KII Pro box, which is basically an S905 Box with a SAT tuner. I also bought a Raspberry PI 3, which should run as a server.

puked: Your setup sounds good! If I use a KII Pro box (S905) at each client and the Raspberry PI with two TV cards as the server, how would the recording work then?

I mean, I could use the sat tuner of the KII Pro box to watch TV, but how would the recording work then? Is it possible to contiune watching any channel on the box, but when pressing record, it is recording on the Raspberry PI server?

Thank you for you help!

Hi,

thank you for your answer!

Ok, do you have any recommendation for a SAT>IP Box, that could be used as a server? In the living room I have two SAT connections, so simultanous watching and recording should be possible, right? If possible I would like to use the SAT connection in each room by a box also. Isn't it more channels I could watch in parallel like this and each client is independend from the SAT IP box in the living room?

could I use the Mecool Pro boxes as clients and record centrally on the SAT IP box with a hardrive then?

Thank you!

Hi experts,

I'm moving into a new house with a new satellite dish. As I had cable T'V until now, I just wonder how to set it up the best way.

When I was talking to some people, they just recommend the MECOOL KII Pro box (or KIII Pro). But I have some requirements, I don't know, if it's the right setup.

So let me describe my situation and my ideas:

1. In the basement there is a Rogetech 5/8 satellite switch with 8 outputs. Two of them are free.
2. In each room, where there could be a TV, at least one satellite output is available (in the living room two).
3. It should be possible to watch different channels in each room simultanously.
4. It should be possible to record and playback channels centrally from each TV client.
5. At least in the living room it should be possible to watch pay chanlles, like Sky.

My thoughts are now:

• Setup a mini pc server (maybe also a mecool box, if also possible) in the basement with some HDD storage and connect it to the two open outputs. This would be used for the central PVR & storage
  
• At each TV setup a mecool pro box and use the available free satellite connection

Is that somehow possible? Would I need to use an libreelec image on the boxes and if so, could I still use the staellite connection at each box without the need of streaming everything?

Thank you very much for your help!
