   mrec: 2x, 3x, 4x (USB 2.0) and 8x USB 3.0 DVB TV tuners are upcoming :-)
   danieel: <u>mrec</u>: where? :) does it have one RF in?
   mrec: we're doing prototypes now, everything's ready linux drivers, USB firmware, FPGA cores, receivers.
   <br> the 4x DVB-C/T/T2 tuners will feature a 4x splitter
   <br> the 1-4x DVB-S/S2/S2X tuners are basically single tuners
   <br> 8x is a full band capture device for DVB-S/S2
   <br> We = Sundtek
   <br> we also have our own assembly line :-)
   danieel: whats better with yours than using any other asic? fpga seems expensive
   mrec: I don't know of any asic that can handle 2 transport streams properly
   <br> Empiatech only supports 64mhz serial transport stream with their dual interface
   danieel: i mean you can use a rfsplit and usb hub.. and 8 discrete tuners
   mrec: heh sure you can
   <br> some DVB-S2 transponders have a bandwidth of 74mbit
   <br> we have tested up to 1.2 gbit with the 8x Tuner (and that was a lousy test)
   danieel: so you have a receiver that is not an fpga.. just you supply a ts receiver for it?
   mrec: the receiver is an asic
   <br> the FPGA is the high speed bridge between everything
   <br> every tuner occupies a single endpoint on the USB end
   danieel: ah, ok
   <br> is 8x dvb-t possible? will you get pcie version later on?
   <br> (or maybe an eth version would be better.. just stream TS to multicast destinations)
   mrec: we have no plan about PCIe yet, maybe adding a USB bridge to pcie would be possible because we want a unified driver that works everywhere
   danieel: yes, that way its simple (opposite would not work)
   mrec: usb allows generic drivers that work with nearly all linux versions without having a kernel driver
   danieel: good point
   mrec: I'm curious about the price which we can offer it should be good as far as I can say
   danieel: whats the rough price plan?
   mrec: really can't say... the HW itself is well manufacturable by ourself (we had different HW in the past which was a pain and which we have outsourced because we didn't want to spend the time on tricky assembly which need high end assembly lines)
   danieel: is it cheaper than this? http://www.olmi.tv/en/d/tbs6209-dvb-t2-c2-t-c-isdb-t-octatv-tuner-1000963/ :)
   mrec: that's really expensive

   p1nky: anyone have any experience with the TBS gear? i am thinking of getting https://www.tbsdtv.com/products/tbs5927-dvb-s2-tv-tuner-usb.html
   <br> wondering if its got good linux support in current kernels (hopefully stock debian kernel)
