[linux-dvb] Re: Dvb in uk
Are you using the Nova-T from dabs or a full-feature card ?
After days of searching round on the net I have failed to find any
complete explaination on how to use the nova-t. Most stuff says that it
works as follows unless your using the nova-t but does not explain what
you do if you do have a nova-t

In the UK, again you have little choice...
The de facto card is the Hauppauge Nova-T retailing from dabs.com and
the like for about £100 inc. VAT. It's a budget card. If you want a
full-feature DVB-T card, Hauppauge can get them for you if you ask
them directly.
The DVB-T card has been one of my favourite additions to this
Linux box apart from my BT dongle. The picture and sound quality are
fantastic! And it's quite neat watching / recording multiple channels
at the same time, for example Independence Day and Little Voice this
evening :o) The 2002-Oct-10 DVB CVS has been working very sweetly for
me and I am currently kindling a worrying QVC addiction -- damn them
and their damn micro fibre towels!
This is stuff specific to VDR, but there's nothing to stop you from
using a budget card and using MPlayer / Xine to view the MPEG2 streams..
Of course, that's not really a comfortable solution for watching TV
from your armchair :)
Never tried pumping MPlayer via my TV out as yet (not owning a TV
playing some role in this), however do I control my viewing experience
from bed with BT enabled PDA and some scripted Perl webpages >:o)
Anyway, time to catch up on today's Neighbours (at least it's not
"Fame Academy")...
Happy New Year Everyone!
