[newbie] I want to use tvheadend to broadcast as a iptv server

by f3bruary22

hello all o/

Let me start by saying I know very little about iptv. I do have experience in hardware/software in general, so I'm sure I can learn in it a short timespan.

I would like to hook up my dad and grandfather with IPTV. My plan is to buy a package from aliexpress, add the connection to a tvheadend server running on either a Pine64/Raspberry Pi in my own home. And then buy 2 receivers for their own tv's in their own homes.

Is such a thing technically possible ? Is a rpi/pine strong enough for 2 concurrent 1080p iptv streams ? And which receiver would you recommend ? (I was leaning towards MAG-???).

My link is 160/160mbit fiber, so I don't think that will bottleneck ;)

I use TVHeadEnd with IPTV an it works great. I don't think using the Raspberry pi will be your issue since there is very little overhead and most of it will be network related since no video is being played on it. Your issue will be on the client side. I am not sure how you will connect the tvheadend output to the boxes you have in mind. I use it with Kodi. There is an android app that also works pretty good but the guide is not that great.

No info for your setup but I would recommend someone else then aliexpress subs I've heard aren't to great.
