IPTV Streaming Device Guide

IPTV Streaming Device Guide

If you are looking to pick up TV or satellite channels and view them live through Planet eStream or use the channels as 
part of your digital signage displays, an IPTV streaming device will allow you to do this.

The IPTV streaming device receives a digital TV signal or a satellite signal through built in tuner cards. The tuner cards 

can be configured to monitor the desired frequencies and receive the required channels. These channels can then be 
broadcast over a network using multicast traffic to be received as Live TV channels, and can be added to Planet eStream 

where they can be viewed through the web interface and used in digital signage.

What Does the IPTV Streaming Device Do?

We offer 4 different models that cover both TV and satellite configurations.

Approximate Number

of Channels Possible

The number of tuners directly relates to how many frequencies you can monitor at any one time. For example if you 
have the “Planet IPTV Streamer – Terrestrial (DVB-T) – Quad”, this will allow you to monitor 4 terrestrial TV frequen

-

cies at the same time. From these 4 frequencies you can select to broadcast as many channels as you like that are visible 
over the frequencies you have chosen to monitor. The same applies to the satellite models, however the channels 

available to you will depend on your satellite setup, and what satellites your dish is pointed at. There are a number of 

channels on satellite frequencies that require a subscription. These streaming devices will only work with free-to-air 

channels.

Please note the amount of channels available for broadcast over your network is dependent on the frequency that the particular channel is broadcast on. 
For example, to broadcast BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5, you will require a quad IPTV streamer.

In order to find out the channel set and frequency information of your Freeview transmitter you can go to http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/ and enter your 
postcode into the coverage checker. You will need to select detailed view.
