It -allows you to connect the analog a/v output of your Sky Digibox to VDR, -so that you can enjoy the full recording flexibility of VDR with your -Sky subscription. Note that this is NOT something that does anything -illegal, like decrypting the Sky programme without a subscription. You -will need a Sky Digibox and a valid subscription in order to use this -plugin. - -The 'kfir' module must be loaded with the option 'streamtype=4' to make it -produce a Transport Stream. - -The Digibox is remotely controlled through VDR via LIRC (see lirc.org). -The file lircd.conf.sky contains the remote control codes necessary to -control the Digibox. - -In order to access the Sky channels VDR needs to know the channel number -under which each channel is stored in the Sky Digibox. These numbers are -stored in the file 'channels.conf.sky', together with the channel IDs as -derived from the actual channel data and the names under which the EPG -data for each channel can be found (see below). Copy this file to your -plugins config directory, in a subdirectory named 'sky', as in - -/video/plugins/sky/channels.conf.sky - -The Sky EPG is available on the Internet at http://www.bleb.org. -The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages -and sends it to VDR via an SVDRP connection. The channel names as -used on the bleb.org pages are defined in the channels.conf.sky file. -You can keep your EPG data up-to-date by entering a call to getskyepg.pl -into your /etc/crontab. Call 'getskyepg.pl -h' for a list of options. -The getskyepg.pl script requires the programs /usr/bin/wget and /usr/bin/logger -to be installed on your system. |
