Hey guys,

i hope someone can give me some hints on how this could work.

I have a shuttle XPC which is running as a small homeserver. Its using Ubuntu server 18.04 as OS.
Fully setup as NAS using samba for intern and nextcloud as extern access.
Wanted to install PLEX as a mediastreaming service, which is running but cant be accessed from external network (which is ok for me).

Now i want to install an old DVB-S card i found. I hope i get it to run at all because its from 2004 using the Phillips SAA7146AH chip. Some forums say its a Technotrend Budget card.
After its installed, i need some software to grant external access to this card. And that is where i need help. Is there any software so i can sit on any other pc, connect to my server and watch via that DVB-S card (and maybe choose the channel).
