Hi,
I'm pretty sure there are quite a few systems out there using FF DVB cards. I wonder why you are constantly arguing against them ;-)
I own an FF card for two reasons only: It offers better video quality on a CRT TV and vdr (1.6) prefers it.
There are a few things to dislike about FF cards these days. To mention just a few:
- expensive - big! (a smaller vdr box would be nice) - problems with QAM 256 - bandwidth problems (see Full TS Mod)
Not too long from now, I want to replace the CRT TV and with it, one of my two reasons to use a FF card will be gone.
So yeah, it'd be nice to see vdr moving away from FF cards or specialized hardware such as the eHD.
A generic (modern) graphics card should be enough and it should be easier to setup for vdr.
Thanks,
Hanno
