Using TV Feeds

Question:

Can Acquire Player show a TV feed?

Resolution:

Yes.  Acquire does support a number of different TV capture cards using our TV App, and some native cards (e.g. BlackMagic and Hauppauge WinTV) through specific Apps.  Alternatively some users choose to use a decoder box (e.g. satellite or cable) so that channels can easily be chosen by the user, then use the output on a TV capture card (any of the TV Apps above).  Also some users prefer to capture the TV signal on a computer, then stream an IP video stream over the network to the Acquire Player, for which the LiveMedia App can be used.

TIP: where applicable, please ensure you have an TV licence and/or are able to play TV content or copyrighted content in public places.
