[vdr] Re: AW: Re: Allwell Set-Top-Box ordering

["Rene Bartsch" <vdr@bartschnet.de>]

If I remind well, VDR also runs on PPC machines.
Neutrino is - if I did understand well - nothing other
than a linux-distro desinged for the D-box2.

So we only need support for the D-box2-tuner in the Convergence-driver
and a output-plugin for the D-box2 (?? Framebuffer ??)

It's no job for the Neutrino but for the VDR-developers.
We also need software-decoding for the people having low-budgets.
