How to Timeshift without Harddisk? (32 MB DiskOnAChip + 128 MB RAM is to small)
they are a little sloppy about the description of features (to there favorits, but have started to make "*" signs on some places)
And last but not least, they list as feature HDTV compatibility
just on the paper, as long they don't have a dvb-s2 tuner card for the reelbox (they have added the dvb-s2 tuner to there specs) it will be hard to proof that its working (IF, then i guess it will be max. 720p in h.264 with the BSP-15 chip inside the box) - i don't count mpeg2-hd-signal as real hdtv and a demo played from dvd is not the same as having a tuner and dolby digital to cope along with the video if you read the specs and then the posts from vdrportal.de whats really working (dolby digital, CSS protectes dvd´s, dvd creation) ...
just read a little on www.vdrportal.de (just ignore the comments about personal things and flames - on some points the discussion was a little bit religious like threads about windows/linux) and don't forget the reelbox forum, on some points you can string things together to guess what is not working
i will have a closer look on there next box (BSP-16?, dvb-s2, h.264-1080i)
there any card supported by Linux in the moment?
no there is no dvb-s2 capable card for linux, TechnoTrend may release a budget card in march (~130€) and lets hope the hardware is similar to the old budget (i don't think tey will have source for linux) so that someone can extend the normal dvb-s drivers beside this there is a survey on dvbportal.de what a TT-FF-DVB-S2 should have (if they ever release one)
