Did anyone ask them if they would be willing to release the full source code of DVBLink as open-source (GPLv2 or GPLv3)?

Quote:Hello,
Sorry to see the TV Mosaic product and services closed. I’ll keep it short. I have some open points.

• Is it possible to revert the TV Mosaic monitoring to the way things were with DVBLink? (Local monitoring rather than using TV Mosaic servers that are not working anymore) 
  
• Why is stuff like the Wiki pages closed as well? There can still be useful information in there. 
  
• Why not remove all licensing? To put it bluntly: you got your money, no hard feelings there. You will not sell new licenses. Why keep it locked? 
  
• Isn’t it possible to throw the code on Github and open source it? That way perhaps people that have more time can still continue to work on it. Of course without monetizing it! 
  

I would really appreciate some response.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Rudi Hendrix

Yes, I asked them.

Sent them a mail with the following and a ticket (for what it's worth) was created:

Hi,

For many us, even though the product has been abandoned by the creators, it still has immense value!

I appeal to you to think about the following points…

1. Reinstate the wiki so that those still using the product have a point of reference (or publish it as a download for us to hold locally)
2. Reinstate the community forum so that we can at least support each other with our own experience.
3. Consider open sourcing the product so that those interested can continue to maintain it.

Now...about my 12 months TV Adviser service of which only one month was fulfilled (Forget the second subscription that nevertheless has only a couple of months to run)...

With the sudden cancellation of your product (and after asking specifically about the future of the service before renewing my subscription), I am very aggrieved, if you were to take some honourable action against the points above for your community, that would be appreciated and would encourage me to forget about the missing service.

Thanks and I hope you will consider my appeal with positive sentiment toward the loyal community your product created.

Anyway... Recently I had some issues with TV Mosaic because it didn't retrieve the (correct) EPG. So I started working on installing TV Headend based on this topic: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=346608&pid=2881106#pid2881106

Seems to be working fine on the most recent version of Ubuntu LTS in Windows. Works together with NewCS. I've come pretty far, but I have some questions/issues. Will post those in a separate topic in the TV Headend section.

There are not a lot of PVR options as I need to decrypt some channels.

If you're on Windows, you can use MediaPortal as backend for free. It can decrypt channels (you just need to "check" CAM enabled and present for the device in the server settings. If you have a TBS card you need to manually copy the CI API DLL, but that's all. I'm using it for years without issue.

Thanks! I thought Mediaportal was a paid service. What is a TBS card?
