I totally agree with n0dder, it's definitely not the same. It's nice, when People like to bring 4 or more Sat Cable to a central box to stream the signal from there. But that could not be the future.

Sat>IP is something like the Netceiver from Reel. It will be the solution to bring the sat signal over one RJ45 Cable to multiple boxes. They will use directly the SAT>IP Transponder Stream.

There are two Solutions for the Sat>IP Server:

- LNB with a integrated SAT>IP Server (8 Streams)

- SAT>IP Server for Traditional LNBs

(http://www.satip.inf.../sat>ip servers)

The first solution is very interesting. You need only a RJ45 Cable to the LNB and on the other end a POE Enabled Switch or the included POE Power Adapter.

The SAT>IP Protocol is documented (Attachment)

There is also already a implementation for VDR and it works on VDR without any changes in the channels.conf:

It will work for FTA Channels and for PayTV.

I hope that soon the developers of OpenPLi will see the positiv points and will implement a SAT>IP plugin also for OpenPLi.
