[linux-dvb] Re: WinTV Nova - and now ?!

[Markus Schorer <ms@plain.de>]

hi,

i've been thinking about this for some time now.

the linux dxr3 drivers seem to get usable (with pal ...) (my impression,
never had the time to test).
the dxr3 needs the a/v-streams demuxed into 2 devices.
BUT, it has (at least no supported) osd capabilities.
it would also feature a usable spdif-out for ac3.

if we could get all of the tools around the dvb-cards more generic
(dtv, vdr, dvdplayer), we could integrate hardware like the dxr3 easily.
see my earlier comment on a general architecture for all these
tv-centered
applications. in short: write a scriptable,configurable frontend (for
osd)
that runs small backend tools for the various tasks (like record,
playback,
epg-scan, program searching, dvd-playing ...).
as always, i don't find the time to do any programming in this
direction.
