Hi all, I'm looking at buying this SAT>IP server Kathrein EXIP 418 SAT>IP Server / SAT2IP Converter: Amazon.de: Elektronik plus a wideband LNB to primarily receive free channels from 19.2east on a wireless laptop (i know this server is overkill, but I want it somewhat future proofed)
Does anyone know how much additional latency (delay from live) I can expecting watching sat>ip streams on a laptop vs a normal receiver and TV setup? If anyone could test this i would be most grateful.
How does Sky Q differ from sat>ip? I know Sky were part of the original sat>ip consortium, but they seem quite different. E.g. decryption is done on the main sky q server, whereas with sat>ip it's at the client level (not that this matters to me as only interested in FTA). Also am I correct in thinking Sky Q only allows live streaming to tablets and phones (not PCs)?
Another issue is the universal LNBs which have a LO of 10.41 on SkyQ vs the standard 10.40 everywhere else.
Wideband 40mm LNB with Horizontal/Vertical ports, LO 10.41 GHz (UK)
Wideband 40mm LNB with Horizontal/Vertical ports, LO 10.40 GHz (EU)
Why the difference? Seems crazy. I assume either LNB would work with this sat>ip server, but that the Sky LNB may give incorrect frequencies by 10MHz? does this matter in getting EPG info or anything?
I could also wait for the new Freesat box - assume this will use the Sky LNB so Sky Q users can easily switch, but who knows?
cheers
