\subsection{Using a SAT\textgreater IP capable tuner}
This feature is intended for devices like the Digital Devices Octopus NET or the Kathrein EXIP 418. If you're using a PCI/PCIe tuner card or an USB Tuner with your PC, these passages about SAT\textgreater IP do not apply to you.
This feature is intended for SAT\textgreater IP server devices like the Digital Devices Octopus NET or the Kathrein EXIP 418. If you're using a PCI/PCIe tuner card or an USB Tuner with your PC, these passages about SAT\textgreater IP do not apply to you.
To use skyscraper8 with a SAT\textgreater IP device, open up a shell and use the following command scheme:
\begin{verbatim}
.\skyscraper8.exe satip IP_ADDRESS DISEQC POLARITY FREQUENCY SYSTEM SYMBOL_RATE
\end{verbatim}
Replace these variables as follows:
\\
\begin{tabular}{llp{5cm}}
\hline
IP\_ADDRESS & \parbox{13.5cm}{The IP address (for example 172.20.20.122) of your SAT\textgreater IP server, or "auto" for autodetection of a SAT\textgreater IP server.} \\
\hline
DISEQC & \parbox{13.5cm}{The DiSEqC 1.0 Port you want to use. Say "1" here for A/A, "2" for B/A, "3" for A/B, 4 for B/B} \\
\hline
POLARITY & \parbox{13.5cm}{Either "H" or "V". The SAT\textgreater IP specification also allows "L" and "R", but this is not yet implemented in skyscraper8.} \\
\hline
FREQUENCY & \parbox{13.5cm}{The frequency you want to tune to in MHz. (for example 12226)} \\
\hline
SYSTEM & \parbox{13.5cm}{SYSTEM is either "S" or "S2". The SAT\textgreater IP specification does not consider S2X, but in my testings, an S2X capable device like the Octopus NET also accepts "S2" here for S2X transponders. } \\
\hline
SYMBOL\_RATE & \parbox{13.5cm}{The symbol rate of the transponder you want to tune to in Ks. (for example 27500)} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}\\
So a valid command would be for example:
\begin{verbatim}
.\skyscraper8.exe satip 172.20.20.122 2 V 12226 S2 27500
\end{verbatim}
to tune to the Hotbird DVB-NIP demo transponder, assuming Hotbird is at DiSEqC B/A. \\
If you don't know your SAT\textgreater IP server address, the following command would accomplish the same:
\begin{verbatim}
.\skyscraper8.exe satip auto 2 V 12226 S2 27500"
\end{verbatim}
If your SAT\textgreater IP server features a STiD135 chipset, you can also catch GS/GSE with it.
\subsection{Using prerecorded TS files}
This is probably the simplest way to get a TS into skyscraper8. Just run the skyscraper8.exe from the commandline passing the path to your TS file as an argument.

\section{What skyscraper8 can not do}
\begin{itemize}
\item Watch TV or Listen to Radio. Extracting files and playing back audio/video are very different things, and skyscraper8 is not designed to do the latter. If this is something you're looking for, you probably want something like ProgDVB or DVBViewer.

\item Descramble encrypted channels. This is illegal in most, if not all, jurisdictions, and I want nothing to with that.
\item Circumvent copy protections. TS contained on Blu-Ray disc are usually scrambled using AACS. Although not too difficult, bypassing it is also a complicated legal matter, which is why I prefer not doing it.
\item Descramble encrypted DOCSIS\footnote{Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications} Traffic. While skyscraper8 does understand DOCSIS traffic and is perfectly capable of sniffing packets from it using tuners like the TBS-6281 SE, it will drop any scrambled packets - meaning those that have the DOCSIS privacy extension enabled.
