[vdr] Re: WinTV-PVR 150 questions



Hi Klaus,

Since the 'kfir' driver I'm using will apparently not be ported

convert an analog a/v signal into an MPEG2 transport stream.

The new Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 appears to be a cost efficient
way to achieve this. Therefore I'd like to ask if anybody here
already has experiences with such a card.

Especially I'd like to know:

- is there a Linux driver for this card?
The people from the ivtv driver are working on this card, too. But i do not know the state of the development for this card at the moment. If there is something working allready you should check the current development branch 0.3 on it.

- can it deliver a transport stream?
To use the driver together with vdr you can take the analogtv plugin or extend vdr itself ;-)

If you pick a PVR-250 it is allready working. PVR-150 is quite new and somehow different to the other PVR-??? modules.
