Re: data & tv broadcasts

[Mircea Ciocan <mirceac@interplus.ro>]

	No, you can't see a TV program while using data capabilities of the
card.
It is not driver fault but the problem is that you have only one tuner
onboard and
so you can decode only one data stream at a time. For the tuner part of
the card it
doesn't matter if the stream that is recevied is a TV channel or paket
data.
Of course it remain the problem of the DVD decoder, maybe some one of
the driver makers
could tell us if the actual MPEG decoder culd be used while the board is
in data mode, it 
will be nice to see CD or DVD movies while using the board as data
receiver.
	About EOL, first I want to thanks all that helped me start the thing in
the new configuration ( post Cyber-Login) than I want to express my
great disappoin for the quality of the service.
	The worst transponder is 113 IMHO, that unfortunately has the strongest
signal path here in Romania, but the data feed is horrible and much of
the time the proxy service is not running on that server and when is
running is splutterd with "bad request" and many other squid proxy
errors.
The 115 transponder has a better data conexion but unfortunately for my
area on day time when the sun is up and/or the day is cloudy the sync is
lost.
I have no polarotor LNB so I can't test transponder 114.
I mange to sync and have an excelent quality on transponder 103 but I
wasn't abele to link to a proxy, could someone confirm that 103 proxy
address is 194.177.32.196 ???

	If somebody has information about receiving multicast streams I'll be
very greatfull to know because for normal download the EOL service is
not worth its money.
