I have a mac server and Shield box. I use the server for sending movies to Kodi and Plex as well as lossless music playing (from LMS to SB Player on the Shield) and realised I may also be able to send TV from an EyeTV tuner on the mac to the Shield. I've heard Kodi can do this but I'm really interested in the Live Channels app that's included. The interface looks really nice.

I can't get it to work and that may partly be due to a little bit of fogginess I have on the terminology:

As far as I can see there's been two standard methods of broadcasting TV tuners over a network, IPTV and DLNA. Perhaps these are two acronyms for the same thing?

EyeConnect (official but discontinued) is meant to broadcast the EyeTV tuner over the network by DLNA. I've installed the trial, it says all is good but the Shield Live App shows nothing when I look for other channel sources. I'm not sure if it's meant to pick up DLNA itself or if I need to add an extension? I've attempted to install (the unofficial) EyeTV-IPTV utility which is meant to broadcast EyeTV over IPTV. I can't quite get it to work but am wondering if it's worth persevering or if I should stick to EyeConnect.

Any help appreciated.
