What is the DVBLink server?

The DVBLink server is a produced and made available freely by DVBLogic.

The DVBLink server installs the components required by all its source products. The following components are included in the DVBLink server installer:

• Virtual TV tuners (4)
  These TV tuners are recognized and accessible by any Windows application through a well know interface. In other words, that means that they appear as regular tuner to Windows Media Center and any other media center programs.

• DVBLink Service
  This is the service that runs the show. It gets the audio and video stream from various sources and feed it’s virtual tuners with those streams.

Once the DVBLink server is installed, you must install a source product (i.e.: DVBLink for HDPVR, DVBLink for DVBDream…) to provide audio and video to it’s virtual tuners.

Why do I get the DVBLink Server from 1geek1tool if it’s produced by DVBLogic?

DVBLogic packages the DVBLink server installer with their own products, but not as a standalone package. We provide a direct link to the installer as a convenient way to download the software.
