[linux-dvb] Re: Supported HDTV card for use in Europe?

Dear linux-dvb / vdr users,
Is there any supported HDTV capable card available here in Europe, to
be used with actual dvb-kernel and VDR?
As I can't get my budget card (SkyStar2) to work with the actually
broken skystar.c driver, I thought I maybe should replace it with a
second FF one, but it would make more sense, to have a new HDTV card
instead of a second Nexus-S.
If something like this is still not available, anybody heard about
such a card to come (and from which manufacturer)?
Of course it should be a FF card with hardware HDTV support and the
possibility to use CI-modules.
BTW Can someone explain again, how HDTV should be able with a normal
budget card (like the SkyStar2)? As I have seen so far, watching a
HDTV live-stream is impossible, so it is all about recording such a
stream, and then using a fitting player (like mplayer or VLC) to view
it, right? But I never got that to work, is there anything special to
do? I have VDR 1.3.15 with the HDTV patch. And what exectly was the
reason, why this is not possible with a FF card?
all budget cards will work, and if you use mplayer in its dvb:// mode
you can also use libavcodec's low resolution option to
make decoding faster:
mplayer dvb://HDTV1080 -lavdopts lowres=1 (half width and half height)
obviously you need a fast cpu and a well supported video card with XV or
Vidix functionality
