Hi all,
as my hardware is shipping (went for the ASUS M2N78Pro, GeForce 8300 with an Athlon X2 4850e, hopefully that'll work with VDPAU and HD videos), it's now time to choose a DVB-S/2 card.
I consider the TT 3200 and with a slight preference the Haupauge HVR-4000 (drivers in the kernel since 2.6.28 seems a bit more comfortable). The only point I'm unsure about is the Haupauge WinTV CI-module USB. Does anyone know about its linux compatibility?
Or do you recommend the TT 3200 if I need an CI module?
And the second question is about the preferred distribution to use VDR with. Are there any distributions optimized for VDR and fast boot times? (Yes I know [1], but that didn't help me with choosing one optimized for short boot times.) LinVDR seemed to be such, but the last version is now 4 years old. I personally have experiences with Gentoo and Debian, so that would be my choices if no one has a better option worth trying.
Greetings -Sascha-
