[vdr] Re: Need a suggestion (may be interesting for you to readthis if you want to sell / test your product)

Hello Yaniv Ron,

while David is right in general, some people on this list do either work
for software companies making (commercial, deal oriented) linux tv software 
(convergence.de e.g. develops embedded/set-top box software) or do offer 
advisory for linux and system design in generally. Since this list is 
noncommercial its hard for an outsider to see that, but as far as i know 
some people on this list (like me) do run their (more or less small) own IT 
Business, those people have time for money and usually a broad range of 
personal, firsthand experience with linux and DVB. Depending on what you 
plan to do (network oriented content distribution/interactive customer 
services/cable head-feeds/corporate tv station) you can find individual 
professionals which could help you do R&D for your needs. Hardware itself is 
no big thing, technotrend.de is the designer of most cards used today, other 
hardware manufacturers products are sometimes not so stable and tend to need 
more effort to get and keep them working for linux, mostly because they are 
not so widely used.


Regards Onno Kreuzinger


p.s.
for now the vdr software and the linux DVB driver are ahead of any 
commercial manufacturer, this explains perhaps why you could not find decent 
information on commercial offers, the community was more convinced than Sony.
