Currently there no network attached devices that are directly supported by the LinuxTV Project.


However, the number of devices that become available in this hardware category is likely to expand in the near future, so it will be interesting to see if any end up falling under the umbrella of support offered by LinuxTV.


In the meantime, it is worth drawing attention to the fact that the HDHomeRun from Silicondust does indeed work well under Linux (using MythTV, VLC). This interesting embedded device contains:

  • twin Thomson DTF8640B NIMs, which feature the Zoran/Oren Cascade2 digital demodulator, and which provide support for both 8-VSB (ATSC) and 64/256-QAM (SCTE 07 Digital Cable) sources
  • a Ubicom IP3023 RISC network processor, running Ubicom's own ipOS RTOS, and which is capable of hardware PID filtering
