[22:34] <qwebirc62062> hello, I would like to know if the HP (rebranded Hauppauge) WinTV-HVR-1260 is supported by the linux kernel. I see a page for the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1250 here, stating support for linux: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1250 , but I'm not sure if this includes (WinTV-HVR-1260) or whether these 2 cards are even related. any info on this would be appreciated.
[06:54] <pmp> dongs: you are blogging now in IRC?
[06:55] <pmp> dongs: dibcom/parrot still in business
[06:55] <dongs> pmp, good to hear
[06:55] <pmp> dongs: though exclusively automotive nowadays
[06:55] <dongs> yeah thought so
[06:55] <pmp> dongs: regarings blogging I was referring to your write up of tbs-drivers
[06:56] <dongs> right
[06:56] <dongs> more like, its 2015, and lunix-tv si still fucked
[07:06] <pmp> won't get better, I'm afraid, linuxtv's DVB was driven a lot by PC devices
[07:09] <pmp> And for embedded DVB (with Linux) lots of companies (including Parrot/DiBcom) never chose to base themselves on LinuxTV-DVB
[07:10] <dongs> gee I wonder why
[07:10] <pmp> that's easy
[07:11] <pmp> Chip-vendors (as Dibcom) had to support a bunch of client-platforms all different in API and non-Linux based
[07:12] <pmp> so it was much more convenient to develop an independent SDK than to stick to LinuxTV as the only platform
[07:12] <pmp> that said, DiBcom was participating in LinuxTV, but this was a dedicated development for Linux
[07:13] <dongs> i bet they enjoyted rewriting their driver from scratch every minor kernel revision
[07:14] <pmp> no no, we had them included in the kernel
[07:14] <pmp> and we did, when the driver was complete
[07:14] <pmp> or nearly complete
[07:15] <pmp> But, as we all, know, broadcasted TV is dead ;-)
[07:16] <pmp> and chip-design in Europe is doing not much better
[07:17] <pmp> so, no more new chips from here, no more new broadcast standards developed...
[07:17] <pmp> implemented*
[07:17] <dongs> yeah i havent kept track
[07:17] <dongs> if japan is still trying to push isdb failure on 3rdworld shitcoutnries
[07:18] <pmp> they will be developed _and_ implemented, but in Asia
[07:18] <dongs> oh gawd
[07:18] <dongs> Adoption of Japanese Terrestrial Digital TV Broadcasting System (ISDB-T System) in the Republic of Nicaragua (
[07:18] <dongs> aug 2015
[07:18] <pmp> with implementation I meant to make a new standard and a new receiver supporting it
[07:18] <dongs> yeah i know.
[07:19] <dongs> there's no need because DVB-T2 is all one requires
[07:19] <dongs> anyone who isn't using T2 by 2020 is retarded anyway.
[07:19] <pmp> I stopped using most of my broadcast receiver (more or less)
[07:20] <pmp> By 2020 I hope I will have dropped TV consumption entirely
[07:20] <dongs> i never even watched tv to begin wiht
[07:20] <pmp> funny
[07:21] <pmp> you are developping things you are never using ;-0
