So DVB-T card seeing DVB-C modulation is like me (and probably you) seeing Hebrew.. >From DVB wiki: These distribution systems differ mainly in the modulation schemes used, due to the different technical constraints: * DVB-S (SHF) uses QPSK; * DVB-C (VHF/UHF) uses QAM (64-QAM in general); * DVB-T (VHF/UHF) uses COFDM.

CAMS and DVB-C card recommendations
by Simon Baxter 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi. TelstraClear New Zealand has just launched it's digital cable service using the set-top-box from 'Advanced Digital Broadcast'. It's the 3000 series which the datasheet says supports : Cable Tuner Input frequency: 47MHz 862 MHz QAM Modes: 64, 128, 256 Symbol Rate 4 - 6.9 MS/s Middleware compliant with MHP, DVB-MHP compliant MHEG-5 ADB proprietary NDS Core OpenTV CA System Support up to 2 smartcards Compliant with all main CAS systems System Main Processor: STi5514/5516 Memory: Up to 48MB RAM, up to 8MB Flash Cable: DVB C compliance: ETS 300 - 429; ITU-T J.83 Annex A and C Terrestrial: DVB T compliance: ETS 300 -744 Satellite: DVB S compliance: ETS 300 - 421 Output signal: PAL B, G, D, K, I, M, N, NTSC; SECAM I'm currently using a single budget DVB-T card with VDR, but would like to add a DVB-C card which will work with the New Zealand cable service. Based on the information above, what model DVB-C card should I buy? Also, if I want to add a CAM for the encrypted channels, what CAM should I buy? Is the above box likely to license the decryption against just the smartcard, or a combination of smartcard and box serial number? any help appreciated - thanks!!

vdr-sudoku-0.1.1
by Thomas Günther 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

There is a new version of the Sudoku plugin. Download: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku/vdr-sudoku-0.1.1.tgz Changes since version 0.1.0: - Fixed compiler warnings with gcc-4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this). - Added Finnish language texts (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added setup option whether or not all cells are unmarked when the puzzle is reset. This plugin generates Number Place puzzles, so called Sudokus, and let you solve it. A Sudoku puzzle consists of 9 x 9 cells subdivided into 9 regions with 3 x 3 cells. The rules are simple. There have to be the numbers from 1 to 9 in every row, column and region. In the beginning some numbers are given. These cells are painted with cyan background color. The aim of the puzzle is to find the missing numbers. There is only one solution of a Sudoku puzzle. See the project's homepage for details: http://toms-cafe.de/vdr/sudoku Tom

vdrsync failure on one recording
by Dominique Dumont 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hello I've have a vdr recording which makes vdrsync.pl fails (see the enclosed output of vdrsync.pl). I end up with one file containing only the video. There's no file for the audio. Vdrsync works fine with other vdr recordings made with the same setup. I've also extracted the program I wanted from 002.vdr with ProjectX, so the program was not completely corrupted. If anyone want the original recording to debug vdrsync (about 400Mbytes), I'll upload it (or just a chunk of it if you prefer).

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.36
by Klaus Schmidinger 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

VDR developer version 1.3.36 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.36.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.35-36.diff The changes since version 1.3.35: - Fixed a NULL pointer access with the cUnbufferedFile when a replay session runs all the way until the end of the recording (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - A menu is no longer automatically closed when a replay ends (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Removed '\n' from several syslog() calls (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed missing '&' in the SetAreas() example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed a memory leak in cString::operator=() (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Maarten Wisse). - cReadLine now dynamically allocates its buffer, so that it can handle lines of any length. - Changed cConfig::Load() to use cReadLine instead of a fixed buffer (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting a problem with extremely long summary fields in timers). - cSVDRP now dynamically allocates its command buffer in order to handle commands of any length. The MAXPARSEBUFFER macros is now obsolete and has been removed. If a plugin has used that macro, it should either define a buffer size of its own, or use cReadLine when reading files. - Fixed a race condition in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The EPG scan no longer disturbs players that have also set live PIDs (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed setting the help key display in the Recordings menu in case of several layers of subdirectories. - Removed EPG bugfix #0, because it removed actually important data. I know, the last version was only a few days ago, but since there was a bug that caused a segfault when a replay ran all the way to the end, I thought it might be good to release these few changes... Have fun! Klaus

Working around Finnish EPG bugs?
by Marko Mäkelä 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

I'm watching Finnish DVB-T streams with VDR. Often, the EPG information for a program contains part of the description of the previous or following program. EPG bugfix level is set to 2. Should it be configured differently for Finnish transponders? Has anyone tried to contact the transponder people? Marko
