Ditlew's Top Secret New Project - eTV! |
Ó
Feast your eyes on this! Here's Ditlew's next project named 'eTV'. eTV allows you to watch TV channels from your PSP, building on the successes of TVSP. After a few words with the developer of TVSP Andy Fung, who hasn't had the time to update it, Ditlew decided to update it himself. Just as with TVSP, the only hardware requirements for eTV is a video capture card, meaning you can avoid the expense of upgrading your PSP's firmware and buying a LocationFree device!
All you have to do is take a look at the screenshots or the video to see the quality of this work-in-progress homebrew application. Both screenshots are from Ditlew's video and show off the amazing quality of eTV. In case you have been wondering, here's a list of the differences between eTV and TVSP:
eTV Server:
- New C# standalone server
- Uses a Directshow filter, and can stream at full frame rate.
- Doesn't need to be active program.
- Can be minimized.
- Can be run on a remote desktop.
- Doesn't need the user to be 'logged in'
- Crops any tv-feed to fit inside PSP's 480x272
- Connection chooser
- Allows non 320x240 (1x1? -> 480x272)
- Feed quality can be changed on the fly
- Feed formats can be changed on the fly (8 different: 4/3, 16/9, Â….)
- Displays channel name, quality and screen format.
- Fluid full rate tv (depending on the feed quality you choose)
Watch the video of eTV in action below. Alternatively, download the video and watch it on your PSP!
Update from Ditlew:
1.) No sound yet, will add before release.
2.) Channels are changed on the PSP.
3.) Not all TV tuners cards are supported, but server source will be released.
4.) The moaning .. have no idea, my wife to be was watching something on the TV.
5.) Will do my best to support all homebrew firmwares, but currently only tested on 1.5.
6.) Yes, it can be used remotely at starbuck or another hotspot, just adjust the quality to make the framerate fluid.
7.) Tnx, for all the congrats on my marriage :)

so is this just a tv streaming application for psp? thus requiring a computer to be on?and then you will require a tv card or some kind of input in your pc? correct me if ive got the totally wrong end of the stick here...
does this work with any capture card?
Great news :) keep up the good work !!!
and say 'hi' to ur wife also ;)
OMGWTFBBQ?!
" the only hardware requirements for eTV is a video card"
really? i doubt it ..
there is a server that strems the tv content from the video card and then streams it into the psp
correct me if I'm wrong, but if I have a perfectly good TV at home, would the only use of this be if I don't want to watch TV on my computer? I suppose this could be useful if your computer is a DVR also and you didn't want to sit at your computer to watch the recordings. Sounds like fun, but I don't know too many people that will actually find this useful. Keep up the good work though.
btw its not a video card, its a video capture card.
HAPPY MARRIAGE! YOUVE GOT ALL OUR LOVE! =`]
ps: check out the huge number of people who update and buy a locationfree station (or whatever). instead of buying that thing, ditlew made it able for free :)
Can you use this outside of your own router? For Instance can I use this at a place like starbucks and get connected to my input?
I know this sounds sad but if you listen at 1:50 of the video can anyone else hear the theme song for halo?
btw nice work and im here if you ever want a beta tester, or some graphics for the logos and such.
Is there a remote possibility that sound will eventually be included? That would make this eTV tits.
I am also curious if the channel changing is going on from the PSP or is that being done by changing the channel on the PC?
I have a BT878 tuner card that'll work great. I am very excited about this program. I really would like to see full features and sound support. Ditlew deserves more than a great marriage - hoorah! Way to go man...
this would be great to let me watch tv in bed (the other half is a bit funny about tv's in the bedroom)..
shame i don't have a tv capture card in my windows pc. make it compatible with mythtv and i'll be over the moon!
congrats and good luck with the marriage and thanks for working hard on us who love homebrew so much.
1.50 only, right?
Who the heck is moaning like that on the background soudn lol
Is there any sound??
does this work on 2.6 ?
What is a video capture card ?
A little typing error there, thanks!
Some video cards have video inputs, also. You Quite a few of them do actually. For example, the ATI Radeon X800XL video card that I have has VIVO (Video Input/Video Output) capabilities that I use to connect my PS2 to my PC to play on my computer monitor.
The point is, you don't necessarily need to have a dedicated TV tuner or A/V capture device if your vid card has these functions built-in. Obviously, if your vid card can't do that, then yes, you'll need to get another dedicated capture device.
1.) No sound yet, will add before release.
2.) Channels are changed on the psp.
3.) Not all tv tuners cards are supported, but server source will be released.
4.) The moaming .. have no idea, my wife to be was watching something on the tv.
5.) Will do my best to support all homebrew firmwares, but currently only tested on 1.5.
6.) Yes, it can be used remotely at starbuck or another hotspot, just adjust the quality to make the framerate fluid.
7.) Tnx, for all the congrats on my marriage :)
// Ditlew
you still need a video Capture card really, your Video card obviously has it built in, but your video card is also a video capture card.
Ditlew thanks and grats. Im been waiting the TVSP release with sound for a long time. But yours seems better. Ill be waiting for the release of one of the best homebrew in my opinion thx.
congratudations on the Marraige! And also congrats on getting head while recording! Can you hear his wife to be?? go to 0:54 and you'll hear her sucknig him and he starts breathing hard. HAHAHAH
LNAtropic
So is there a possibility to set-up my wireless speedtouch 110g to transmit instead of receiving? that would be cool. So i don't need to buy a external router instead. is this actually possible?
hope you can make it good for even 2.6 firmware. Well, good luck with everything. Have a nice marraige.
congrats ditlew!!
is it possible to get a list of working capture cards...
iv got an ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 128 AGP...pretty old...will it work
anyone know of a card that they are sure will work with this? or atleast work witht eh last tv *****
ReGenesis was playing on the PSP. I love that show! I thought it only aired in Canada...
Yes, I realize that my vid card has a capture card built in. The point of what I was saying is that you don't necessarily need to have a separate capture card. Some vid cards can do the capture themselves. $n!pR was saying that you have to have a video capture card, not a vid card, which is not necessarily true, as I've pointed out.
im glad this got picked up, and better yet by such a great programmer. it looks to be a great program. it wouldve been sad if PSPTV went nowhere.
cuz I just got a tv tuner card for my comp, nice
It's a TV Tuner Card, not a Video Card...Two completely different things.
hey, i'm excited about this. the quality is excelent. Just make it as easy to use as possible and you're good to go.
this great news, i hope this will have 2.00+ support
Congratulations Ditlew, have a good honeymoon and hurry back to finish this prog
Ditlew said there will be a breakdown of tested models so be a little patience if you don't know what is going on about the tuner capture card.
Tip #1: PC TV Tuner. What is it?
-- internal PCI card purely for TV Tuner/Capture
-- external USB device
-- additional feature built into FULL FEATURED video cards like ATI's All In Wonder models
== They all have a female threaded COAXIAL Cable connection to plug your television cable into.
Tip #2: What should I look for? [I'm a cheap bas-tard]
-- The BT878 chipset - the digital processor chipset used in the tuner card to convert analog video to digital (older and lots of variants, i.e. BT878b, BT878pn+, etc.) - they aren't necessarily the name brand stuff, I got mine from an OEM computer that was stripped and the card had no identification other than BT878pn+. Turns out these have been made for some time now and are dirt cheap. They are better because they basically just dump a raw stream of video to the computer and hands raw analog audio off to the audio card just like a CD drive. These days computers are powerful enough to do what they want with that stream. I like it because, using Dscaler, I have NO LAG between my TV set and my computer. No echo if they are on the same channel.
Tip #3: Read the forum. Read about TVSP releases and what progress was made there. Read about the new eTV and the progress Ditlew makes as it happens. LEARN there because the comment forum is NOT the place to recieve technical support for newbies or newcomers to tv tuning.
'Lung out.
he ho away we go
this will be usefull im sure
just got to get myself a tv tuner for my pc
but alas i live in china and cant understand any of the chinese shows (im english you know)
:)
Hello,
Congrats on getting married.
You guys seem to have made great progress.
Thank you!!!
Sounds cool, but if you need a tv tuner, and an internet connection then it is pretty much pointless, because you can either just watch TV on the TV or the computer. Personally, I would rather watch TV on my TV while playing games with my PSP. It would be cool if there was a way to stream TV with just an internet connection though.
eTV looks awesome, Ditlew. I have been checking pspupdates every day since TVSP was released in hopes that it had been updated. Its great to see that you have taken over the project. Good luck with it!
More importantly, congrats on getting married! Have a great honeymoon!
Hej jeg ville bare lige sige et stort tillykke til dig, og tak for dine bidag til pspens homebrew, det styre!
ses
Qess
I love this guy!! That is the only thing (besides the modchip) that's been missing from my psp!! Ditlew rules!!
It's not halo, its like violins or sumthin. :) great job ditlew, its people like you that make the psp scene fun and enjoyable, once again great job ~NAte
nocomment
How am I reading about this if it's top secret. Guess this is a top secret website...blows
HEY WUS^ MY HOMIES AT QJ.NET!!>"_%
HOW WULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A BIGGER PENIS!?
HAHA^
JUST PLAYIN
ETV MUTHA*****A!
HELL YEA
How many times, exactly, does this have to be *****ing said!
YOU CAN *****ING STREAM THIS TO WATCH IT ANYWHERE WITH A *****ING INTERNET CONNECTION!!!!! !
I'm sick and *****ing tired of ignorant bastards, who obviously never passed 3rd grade, *****ing and moaning with this one *****ing arguement over and over.
Every time there is an article on this *****ing subject there are at least 30 *****ing idiots that either dont bother to read, or incapable of understanding, this fact and post this same *****ing moronic ill-informed post
"WELL, THIS IS USELESS. WHY THE ***** WOULD I WATCH TV ON MY LITTLE BITY PSP WHEN IM IN THE SAME ROOM AS MY TV?"
If you really think that this is why programs like this, and location free players exist, please go *****ing jump off of a building and stop making you uneducated posts.
All I need is a wireless router.
You people seriously need to read the whole article before posting n00b comments.
beterthnyu : chill out noob
Ditlew : You big tease you. As soon as i saw the article i was looking for download link :(. Anywho congrats and have fun on the honeymoon, cause after that its downhill =D. I will be one of the first to download this program when its finished. lemme know if you need a tester.
beterthnyu : Huggles
not much of top secret anymore now is it but other then that great progress =D
Is this file ready to be downloaded? I don't seem to be able to find the link...
I must admit, I'm a noob to this type of program for the PSP, but even I am laughing over the morons saying it's useless. I mean good god, it says clearly if you have a connection you can watch the thing anywhere that has a hotspot or whatever. My frickin' local Subay resteraunt has one. I mean, don't they get it? LOL!
Gratz on your marriage too btw
Looks like my TV tuner card just became even more useful.
Thanks and Congrats Ditlew!
Im excited.
Ive been toying aroung with PVNC and PIMPStreamer. this is only make thigs beter..
I pity the owners of upgraded PSPs
Good work, nice to see :)
Hi Ditlew, dont know how to contact you so i hope you will see this!
I would be really happy if you could add support for DVB-T cards, DScaler that TVSP used had no support for such cards, but please... can you fix this in some way? I really want this application!
Thanks!
I was wondering why tvsp wasnt updates. Good to hear this news ! Also congrats.
Congrats on the big step in marriage Ditlew. I am a fan of your working progress. To all who are still asking many questions please feel free to contact me I can help out. washingtonhight z
TV Tuner/Capture Cards are good to use preferably the older sets manufactured early on like 2000 or 2001. They make the feeds crystal clear and sound is loud.
Now do not mistake a capture card with a video card. Some video Cards like the ATI ALL IN WONDER Make theirs with the TV Tuner Included. Thats a nice card to have. Right about now. Because for those who misinterpret this program. This is a big step for the PSP. This means Portable TV. I Don't know about you guys. But there are hotspots all over my Company Building I can sit at my desk and watch the Yankee Game at work while getting the job done. This makes life a whole lot more comfortable. Yea u can watch tv at home or on ur LCD. But the true meaning of this program is PORTABILITY. You can take your Digital Cable with you on the run and get your own home TV. ANYWHERE THERE IS A HOTSPOT. Your in paris you don't like the TV there. It's ok I got my home tv on my PSP. Go Yanks !!
when will we have it?
me likes, me likes
i dont know the functionality , but its a great idea
would be great to get a little ouline.. which hardware is suppoerted... have a hauppauge PVR II 350 with hardware MPEG 2 chip onboard... guess its not supported...
my psp got broke
man all those people who upgraded to 2.7,2.71 will be killing htem selves when they find this out.
This app looks great. Might have to pick up a card or whatever for my pc just because of it!!
weird that sony haven't made a tv tuner for the psp though. I mean they had that for the game gear like 10 years ago!!
thanks though!
Hopefully it supports 2.6 and works with my new Freecom DVB-T USB reciever... Freeview on PSP would be great. But im not sure if the fact its USB will affect my ability to use this thing. Anyway, Ditlew has once again impressed us all. Keep up the good work!
dont claim to be ditlew. Ditlew is a registered user you dumbass!
#64- if you're gonna try to impersonate someone, do it properly. Not only did your grammar suck, it also says "Unregistered" next to your name, which is a big giveway believe it or not
Great news guys!!
Quick question - I don't have a capture card, but I'm able to stream tv directly from my cable dbox via wifi to my laptop. Does this mean I'll be able to stream to the PSP using the eTV client??
Thanks!!
Congrats on your nupules Ditlew now go have fun! ;D
Can you use this program if your router uses WPA TKIP security?
Hei gutten min!!! hur är det i norge?
Grattis till bröllopet!
this is a good pre-release, however once the PS3 comes out this program will lose alot of supporters. Because the PSP can stream most content from a PS3, acting as a base station.
anyways, good job
NOY YOP SECRET ANYMORE MWAHWUAH
Well, even though I prefer to watch TV on a TV, it's really great to be able to watch from the PSP system! Nice work, congratulations on you marriage also!
#74, the problem with the ps3 base station is the chance are it will require a firmware upgrade ( again)
i have the thing that i can watch tv on my computer and i have wirless internet so will it work for me?
Well, what can I say about this? Ditlew lives up to expectations once again. Absoluely great video, and it looks like this is to be a promising addition to the PSP Homebrew scene.
As for your marriage, heres hoping it's filled with as much joy as you have collectively given your users over the past months. Have a great honeymoon. You deserve it.
Someone mentioned that DVB-T wasn't supported in the last version... that could be a major problem. Not only is analog signal awful quality where I live, but its also being switched off totally in the UK from 2008-2012, and therefore I made the decision last week to buy a digital only TV tuner... is this going to be a problem? If it only suports analog that will also mean UK users will be stuck with 4 or 5 channels. Please include DVB-T Ditlew!
Ditlew and his PSP are getting married.. OMG aahhhh...
Finally a homebrew app that doesn't suck. Up until now I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything in the homebrew scene worthwhile until this app was mentioned.
Cool work, keep it up Ditlew.
omg getting married! good luck!:]
will it be able to stream a normal video too (.avi for example)
Ditlew, making a directshow compatible app for source may take longer to code and may end up less compatible in terms of videocard that can be used rather than if you used the genious VLC to stream TV from PC!
Please consider using VLC instead for increased compatibility!
(VLC is ported on like every OS too!)
Thanks.
Like, watch TV on a ... TV?
Ditlew WSOTOJOD StolEDD FuxXin CODE FROM ANDY OMFGOZROROZ!!## !!!@!!@
Downloading VLC would be alot easier than buying a video capturing card.
