Configuring Tvheadend

Language Settings

When you start the application for the first time (docker start tvheadend) you'll be prompted to fill in some initial information, such as your language of choice:
Language set up
Click on Save & Next It may refresh to the same pop-up - if it does, just click next again.

Credentials

You'll then be asked to fill in some user credentials for the application. This will apply to both the web UI and client access. In my case I did not worry about this as I'm not overly concerned about security of my TV streams on my network. However, it is recommended to fill in at least a basic user (do as I say, not as I do, and all that).
Click Save & Next.
User credentials set up

IPTV RECORD STEPS

Tvheadend's configuration is a bit convoluted. For IPTV, first go to the Configuration tab, then DVB Inputs. From there, select the Network tab. Now, create a new IPTV network to hold your streams.
For each IPTV stream/channel you want, it will first need to be defined as its own Mux. Go to the Mux tab, and create a new Mux. When asked for the Network, select the IPTV network you just created. Then, in the URL box, enter the URL for the stream. (Not all streams will work, though. IIRC, Tvheadend will only ingest MPEG-TS streams.) After you create the Mux, Tvheadend will attempt to connect to the stream to discover its Services. After the scan completes (you can either check the log viewer at the bottom of the WebUI, or look at the Scan field in the Mux listing: it should change from Pending, to Active, and then to OK. If it says Failed, then Tvheadend was unable to connect to the stream.)
After the Mux is scanned for Services, go to the Services tab. You should see a Service that is named to match the Mux you just created. Here you can select the option to Map Services to Channels, and Tvheadend will create a new Channel that matches your IPTV stream.
This process can be automated a bit by using the Automatic IPTV Network type, and pre-defining your streams in an M3U playlist. In this manner, you define all of your Muxes, along with optionally giving them readable Service names and channel numbers for Tvheadend.
This ought to get you started, and help explain the process as well as how Tvheadend lays things out to discover how to get things working for your particular setup. Also, there are MANY posts on the forums here about setting up IPTV networks, so check out those for additional pointers.

iPad 3′s Retina display will bring news reading closer to print experience The new iPad could finally elevate the text reading experience on a tablet to something much more akin to reading a printed newspaper, magazine or book,  says Poynter’s Patrick Thornton. “The blurry, pixelated text from the relatively low-resolution iPad 1 and 2 always stood out. iPad news apps may have great looking photos, videos and interactive graphics, but text — often the core of what a news organization produces — doesn’t look that good, especially in comparison to what humans have been able to enjoy for hundreds of years… The new iPad will allow news apps to look much closer to the printed text found in a glossy news magazine, but apps will need to be rewritten to look proper on this new display, and all art assets will have to be redone as well.”

Vatican officials says tweets are ‘like the gospel’ Pope Benedict XVI will soon be opening his own Twitter account, a Vatican official announced, saying that tweets were in some ways similar to “the gospel.” “The tweet can be reformulated, redistributed, relaunched and disseminated,” said Father Claudio Maria Celli, the head of the Vatican’s pontifical council for social communications, as he announced the initiative. “In this sense it is like the gospel, a small mustard seed that once scattered grows into bushes where birds can rest.” It does not have quite the same ring as a papal bull, but Catholics looking to stay in touch with the Holy Father are about to get acquainted with the papal tweet. Fourteen centuries after popes started using papal bull missives to communicate with the flock, Benedict XVI is due to open a Twitter account, a  Vatican  official has announced. "The tweet can be reformulated, redistributed, relaunched and disseminated," said Fat
