10.1.2 Streaming Video to your PC

If you prefer to use a PC during troubleshooting, the only thing you need is an application like

VLC Media Player (as covered in Section 5.1). The instructions for configuring your PC to

stream video from the COM2000 using the VLC Media Player application are included below.

First, you will need to tune the COM46 card you are testing to stream to your PC. The

instructions for doing so follow.

1. Under the “Tune” interface on the Tune page (refer to Section 1.1), set the “IP_Address”

field to your PC’s address (refer to Section 5.3.1 for instructions on detecting your

computer’s IP address.

2. Make note of which value the “Port_Number” field is set to. If you have already

configured the system, you can leave this value on its previous setting. If you have not,

select a default value for troubleshooting that will not conflict with the port number of

any of the other cards.

3. Make sure the “Protocol_Type” field is set to ‘0 = UDP’.

4. Set the “Major_Number” field to channel 100. This is the only channel on which

customers have the option of removing Pro:Idiom encryption.

5. Set the “Security_Mode” field to ‘0 = None’. Again, this will only work on DIRECTV

channel 100.

Next, open up VLC Media Player. Select “Media” from the main menu, and then select “Open

Network Stream” from the dropdown menu that appears (see Figure 69).

In the new window (see Figure 70), set the network URL to something like “udp://@17”, where

“udp” stands for the UDP protocol, “@” stands for your PC, and 17 is the port number. The “//”

and “:” are delimiters. Set the “Port” field to the value you were asked to note earlier during
