There is an android app called tvhclient

Works great for me.

Edit: Similar app for ios:

Edit: I think VLC will also work if you give it the streamurl found in the tvheadend backend for that channel.

Edit2: If both channels you want to watch are on the same carrier frequency, as common with digital tv, you might not be able to watch them simultaniously. If so, you need a second tuner.

watching tv on a mobil device can be done, but it takes a LOT of bandwidth and CPU on your mobile device… DVB is 50-60 frames pr second i know my iphone 6 and ipad does play the stream but it’s not happy about it :wink: and player crashes a lot.

So it works, but the stream/data DVB is, is not made for mobil devices ;-), works great on Desktop however.

i use the vlc trick, you can also install kodi on the computer and set up the pvr there…

so all apps work great, but i can watch two special chanells simultaniously, when i watch another chanells, i cant watch nothing on another device… i got RPi1. RPi2 would be able to take care of two or more devices of watching a different chanells? is there some setting that i can do on my RPi1 to enable more devices? or i really need 2nd tuner?

thanks

Read my post again.
One tuner cannot tune to two channels when they are on the same frequency. So you need a dual tuner or a second one.

yeah, i got it now, it works like you said, thanks for help to you all

DVB can fine show two channels from the same frequency but not two different frequencys… then you need two tuners yes…

tvheadend can also steam the same channel too more then one device at the same time.

Hope this helps.
