Quick Review of DVBLogic DVBLink Server, TVSource and Network Pack

FINAL THOUGHTS

I really like these products – I found them quite easy to install, and they worked pretty much straight away without a great deal of configuration – all be it the configuration needed for the tuners taking a while, but it was only needed once.

I know that I have heard people comment on how confusing the setup and configuration is, but I can only assume that this was so in earlier versions because as of version 3 that is certainly not the case.

Perhaps the sheer amount of steps involved put some people off.

Because of this we created two of our useful How To… guides to help people easily and quickly install, configure and use both sets of products.

You can access them here:

https://moviesgamesandtech.com/2010/06/29/how-to-install-and-configure-dvblink-server-network-pack-v3-01/

Price wise these products are a bargain. The only additional costs you may have is the tuner hardware, but if you already have supported hardware then all you have to do it pay for the software, and that is:

DVBLink TVSource (including the server component): 21 Euros

DBBLink Network Pack: 21 Euros

There are also 20 day fully functional evaluation editions which you can download and run so that you can see if it is something you might like and find useful. Personally I will be using this a lot in the future, and I would guess that most people who use it will do so as well.

An excellent set of products – well done to DVBLogic. I cant wait to see what they come up with next!

Have you used them? What do you think? Let us know your comments….

  1. I've been using this since March to stream Hotbird/Sirius around my house and it works very well. A big bonus, if you have satellite, is that you can trim your guide down to the stations you want rather having to deselect the potentially thousands of channels the old media center way.

    Maybe DVBlogic can come up with a separate product to manage the guide more effectively than the present media center way?

  2. Hi,

    Site is awesome for a newbie.

    i'm just about to implement WHS in my new house. Im lucky as i have the choice to put wires where I want!

    question i have – should i install as DVB/SAT card in the WHS box or the local TV box, happy to implement software required

    Thanks

    Jim

    • Hi Jim – welcome to UWHS 🙂

      To be honest the choice is yours – if you are not going to have your TV box on all the time, but your WHS will be, I would recommend putting it on the WHS box so your streams are always available.

      Have a good christmas

      Andrew

      • Great, so if I install the card on the WHS will i be able to access the EPG, live as it were, from the other boxes connected to WHS?

  3. Ive not set it up on my WHS but as I understand from those that have, yes. You need to follow all the steps in our How To guides for DVB Link to get it all to work.
