Receivers like the Novra S75 DVB-S shown take the transport stream from the RF network and retransmit as multicast UDP packets on LANs. TSReader has sources that can receive multicast and unicast UDP, UDP/RTP or UDP/HRTP traffic.

Firewire devices that are compatible with the "meidvhs" driver for ******s XP. This includes some cable TV set-top-boxes like the Scientific Atlanta 3250HD and the Motorola 620X series.
Link to AVS forum ********ation
Note 1: Use of BBTI drivers version 4.4 are required for operation with TSReader.
Note 2: This card isn't fully functional yet in TSReader primarily because we either can't get a card or don't have that format of modulation available to test with. If you have one of these cards, please contact us - we'd like to work with owners to get TSReader debugged on these cards.
Note 3: This card has an eight PID maximum demux severely limiting it's performance in TSReader. Please see this note about cards with demultiplexers.
Note 4: This interface is supported using Microsoft ******s BDA drivers.
Output Destinations
TSReader can output a single channel version from the multiplex ****g received and send it real time to the following devices:
