<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been playing with the latest <A
href="http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/">http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/</A> drivers
(Multi frontend Support) for the HVR4000 (<A
href="http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff) and">http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff)
and</A> they seem to work well. I can use either DVB-S or DVB-T (via
mythtv and swap easily between them) (butt not use them at the same time which
is just a limitation of the device)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But a couple of problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not many programs support the multifrontend as of
yet. Like the biggest one Mythtv :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have to do the below so it sees two
cards</FONT></DIV>
