[linux-dvb] Re: Is the Hauppauge WinTV DVB-s card compatible with Klaus Schm. dvr?

[Dave Chapman <dave@dchapman.com>]

Peter,

Welcome to the list.  Yes, I (and many other people on this list) have bought 
the Hauppauge card in place of the Siemens card - mainly due to it's wider 
availability outside Germany.

The Hauppauge card is fully supported by the driver (it is a clone of the 
Siemens card).  However, the "morally correct" thing to do is buy the Siemens 
card because they have actively supported the development of a GPL'ed Linux 
driver for their card.

BTW, the complete archive for the list (and information and links regarding 
DVB under Linux) can be found at http://www.linuxtv.org.

Best wishes,

Dave.
