[linux-dvb] Starspeeder

[Silvan Graf <silvan.graf@gmx.ch>]

Hi

As you have probably heard, Starspeeder is now up and running. Seems that
the service is quite fast and reliable. But there is one big problem. All
the DVB-S using the Siemens/Hauppauge/Technotrend architecture run into
problems with the Europestar satellite used by Starspeeder. On heavy load
(eg bigger downloads) the Hauppauge Data Application for windows hangs after
few minutes. Hauppauge announced a patch for today. One of CBL's partners,
"Internet-Agentur-Schott" (www.internetvia-satellit.de) said that the
problem could be the FEC 5/6 instead of 3/4 as it is used on Astra.

Is it possible that the DVB-driver for linux runs into the same problems?
Has anyone tried this service on his linux-box?

Starspeeder is based on a VPN using PPTP. So i think it should be possible
using it with Linux
