Embed TV on website

[Cesar_Chas]

Hello,

is it possible to embed the TV signal from a TV tunner card into a website? Any ideas?

Even if you can (and I don’t know how you’d embed the video) I think you’ll have a legal problem, unless you just made it available in your own house lan.

The video would run on a local server so there would be no legal issues. Does somebody know a way to do this?

Sure its just a local server. And even that is likely a legal no no – you are re-transmitting someone’s broadcast, presumably without paying them nor counting in their ad share.

Technically this is pretty easy to do – you just need to transcode and stream the input off that card to a streaming video server, embed appropriate flash or html5 video tag in page pointing at streaming server. No different than streaming anything else these days.

Thanks for your help guys. Belive me, it will always be on a local server, and it is for a legitimate project. The TV signal won´t be altered in any way and won´t be re-broadcasted. There are enough live tv sites out there

I will research the streaming server thing, thanks a lot!
