Works great except for a few issues.Īs Elgato EyeTV Netstream 4S and Netstream 4C both share the same issues with the SAT>IP tuner not being discoverable, I´ll share my experience with the 4C here. Spoiler on the result: it works, mainly because of a factory reset.īefore I go into detail, a big THANK YOU! After quite a few experiments with other PVRs / clients, I ended up with NextPVR Server + Kodi Clients for my Elgato EyeTV Netstream SAT>IP tuners.
