It has one or more tuners and streams selected channels as IP traffic over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Clients &mdash; apps on TVs, tablets or computers &mdash; watch different channels.<\/p>\n<h2>Why It Is Useful<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>No coax to every room.<\/li>\n<li>Watch satellite TV on tablets and phones.<\/li>\n<li>One dish, many devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Hardware You Need<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A SAT&gt;IP server box (or a software server on a PC).<\/li>\n<li>One or more tuners in the server.<\/li>\n<li>A home network with decent Wi-Fi coverage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Number of Tuners<\/h2>\n<p>Each tuner watches one channel at a time. If two people want to watch different channels on different devices, you need at least two tuners.<\/p>\n<h2>Setting It Up<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Connect the dish to the server&apos;s tuner input.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the server to your router by Ethernet.<\/li>\n<li>Power on and find the server&apos;s web admin page.<\/li>\n<li>Configure the satellite and run a scan.<\/li>\n<li>Install a SAT&gt;IP client app on your devices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Bandwidth Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>An HD channel uses around 10&ndash;20 Mbps. Your home network needs to handle several simultaneous streams. Ethernet is more reliable than Wi-Fi for the server itself.<\/p>\n<h2>DiSEqC and Motors<\/h2>\n<p>SAT&gt;IP servers can control DiSEqC switches and motors, but every tuner moves together. For multi-independent viewing, you need multiple tuners on separate LNBs.<\/p>\n<p>SAT&gt;IP is the elegant way to get satellite TV everywhere without drilling. It needs a small network investment but removes the coax-for-every-TV problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAT&gt;IP turns your satellite dish into a network source: instead of running coax to every TV, one server tunes the channels and streams them over your home network to TVs, tablets and phones.
