Remux.me sound as a great project. But no updates for 3 years doesn't sound good to me.

Also, their official site doesn't exist anymore, sadly...

Alternatives?

What do you mean?
It works fine? Anyone using it in production, daily?

Update, The QuadHD from Hauppauge is still working great, upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 recently and the card is still working great, All 4 Tuners works in Tvheadend. Using Kodi as the frontend on Pi 4 and 3, EPG Guide works as it should.

Hi There,

I'm in the process of putting together a setup for my house.

I've got my endpoints covered (Kramer KDS-DEC5 H.264 decoder), and also a Technogym treadmill.

What card would you recommend for UHD satellite broadcast?

Also, is Tvheadend able to transcode the streams? The Technogym treadmill is very specific in what it requires - resolution no higher than 999x999, and 1 IP address for each channel, here's a link to the user manual.

Let me know if you have any questions

Hey There

I am running TBS5990 Dual tuner with Wintel W8 pro NUC. Debian 4.19.98-1 (2020-01-26) x86_64 and Tvheadend 4.3-1857.

Built with Crazy Cat TBS drivers, both tuners work flawlessly. Never got this tuner to work properly with Raspberry PI ARM, but hasn't missed a beat with the NUC.

Hard to say "Recommend", but I just bought a TerraTec Cinergy T2 USb Stick and yes, It seems to work. Use it for DVB-T2.

On the list with URL https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/DVBCards I cannot add anything. Does anybody want to add hardware or maybe delete the list?

It begin immediately after I enabled second tuner. Tuner is without (with fully configured is the same, of course) configured LNB, is only enabled...and stream from first tuner is frezing.
