freeview via broadband

RumRat

The answer is No then, as was suggested earlier.
Try harder with fixing the aerial.

..or if there's line of sight to the Astra satellites just get a Sky dish and point it through a closed window. I did that for years in 2 separate properties (both through single-glazed windows in the flats' kitchens)

thanks , however it wants to be a single box under the TV , not a disk powered or internal ariel powered unit


as no one can suggest one , it looks like they are not made

You have the almost perfect setup, Raspberry pi + Openelec + Kodi and TV remote control. I use my Samsung TV remote for the above.

Not only not made, but:

- there's no official transmission service that it could use.
- no one is marketing such a solution (even as a "coming soon" prospect).
- a STB with "Ethernet" capability is more like a Youview box i.e. a piece of complex equipment, which would be at least 5-10 times as expensive as the cheapest Freeview box.

In other words, it's unlikely that anyone is going to create such a set-up any time soon - the economic/marketing position is not right for it.

Just turned on the Raspberry PI to have a look but JJ as mentioned one i use.

Mod's nothing illegal about this, It's the only way some people can get Freeview.
