[linux-dvb] Re: UDP Data via DVB-s in US

[Andreas Schiffler <aschiffler@appwares.com>]

Yes, I've read the dvbnet code. Finding this "nugget" was where the
whole idea started in the first place ...

Still, I am a bit confused on how to approach the whole thing. What do I
ask the sat-provider to transmit? What kind of data will I receive?

As far as I can understand its as simple as:
- give the sat-provider a T1 drop and fire UDP packets into it
- point dish, get a SS card & dvb drivers running, etc.
- fire up dvbnet, choose your frequencies, PID, etc.
- read UDP packets on LAN
oh forgot
- pay sat-provider big $$$ 

What I am missing are some more details on this as they pertain to N.A.
and any issues to watch out for. I'd also feel a lot better about this,
if someone said "been there, done that". ;-)

Cheers
Andreas
