[iptv-users] Multicast video stream to EIA analog channel

[James Bieker]

I use the Aminos to do IPTV to analog - Just a few notes if you have 
never done this before:

Using the IR keyboard (optional) is easier to program the Amino to a 
default home page, static IP, etc, but you can do most of that from the 
included remote.

Read the documentation from the amino site carefully, helps if you have 
linux knowledge.

Learn to use telnet as you will likely want to remotely reboot the 
Amino. They tend not to automatically rejoin a multicast stream 
automatically should it get interrupted.
