Hi Klaus,

Could you tell me, please, are you planning to add support of MPEG4 to VDR? It's good front-end for HTPC but era of HDTV is coming. So, people need it.

Yes, I do plan to do this. Yesterday I've installed my DVB-S2 card in a test box, so hopefully I'll be able to start digging into this one of these days...

Klaus

That's great news as some providers are already using mpeg4!

FF-Card???

I wish ;-)

It's a Technotrend S2-3200 HDTV-S2, unfortunately with the C1L chip version. So if you get yourself such a card, you might want to make sure you get one with the C2L version (see Manu Abraham's message at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-January/015585.html). Don't know personally if this actually is a problem, because so far I haven't started working with it.

There is a promising FF solution being developed by Micronas. Dual DVB-S2 receiver, hardware H.264 decoding and HDMI output. http://www.micronas.com/pressroom/press_releases/articles/149309/index.html?...

It's has a PCI express card so Klaus might have to bye a new PC after all ;-)

AFAIK - it's only a reference-design - so that dvb-card vendors can use this as a first step for a FF hdtv card I don't think that micronas will create a card ready-for-market

But also Technotrend might get their DVB-S2 FF card to the market sooner or later.

I know that hauppauge will not develope a FF for hdtv are you sure that technotrend is working on a FF card? or is it just a guess?

Ondrej ...

P.S. Funny subject for this thread. Maybe it was supposed to be a private conversation?

Technotrend S2-3200 HDTV-S2

I bought two of these to replace my old budget cards which were destroyed by lightning.

Is yours working for you (at least in DVB-S mode) now?
