How does it work

dvblink4dvbdream

The DVBLink framework installs virtual BDA drivers, which are recognized by Windows Media Center and other tuner acquisition programs to perform digital video capture. The virtual drivers are registered as DVB-S tuners that can feed a wide selection of video formats, including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

The DVBDreamBridge component of DVBLink for DVBDream gets the video and audio feed from DVB Dream and relay it through the virtual drivers, thus sending it to Windows Media Center.

For Media Center to listen on the virtual tuners feed, you have to setup the DVBLink virtual tuners as dummy Satellite tuners. Thereafter, the DVBLink Media Center add-in can override the satellite channel list with DVB Dream’s channel list.
