This could be an odd question but bear with.

Does anyone know of a receiver I can tune into a feed remotely, either via a web page or iphone. Basicly I won't be at the box to do it with the remote. I tried adding a manual channel with the Technomate with the correct freq and whatnot but during when the feed was live it said no signal (I suspect as I didnt know the vpid etc that's why).


Thanks

Enigma2 based receivers will allow this.

Yes, but if you want to watch the feed across the internet you need transcoding. The only receiver right now with that is the Vu+ Solo2.

You can control them from a mobile or from the web interface using the virtual remote.
 
Thank you all very much. Vu+ Solo2 seems ideal, and I'd hope so at it's price. :D Maybe next month. :p

Maybe next month, the Vu+Duo2 will be around, with its nifty display, and possibly for not much more according to certain rumours :-wow
 
I don't understand why you would want a colour display on your receiver - surely it just distracts you from the TV? Much, much prefer the dot matrix display on the Uno - maybe because it reminds me of Nokia 9600?
 
Since the original request was for controlling the receiver from afar, there won't be much chance of seeing the front panel in the first place.

It's all about ideas... but you need hardware... the software you can think about later, but the hardware you can't.

For example, my mobile phone has a 4" colour OLED display, a camera, GPS, a magnetometer, 3 axis gyroscope and accelerometer. Did the manufacturer think that someone was going to make it into an augmented reality satellite finder? I doubt it, but without the hardware it would have been impossible whatever software someone wrote for it.
