Happy Easter to all of You vdr listers!
I'm looking for some recorded HDTV material to start the exploration of HDTV. I currently doesn't own a budget card and as I understand from reading not able to record the available streams.
Hm, my own understanding of it was that you can certainly record HDTV streams from a FF card - after all it's just data at a high bitrate - but to actually replay, you will need a software decoder like vdr-xine or softdevice, because the FF cards are simply incapable of displaying HDTV resolutions / decoding MPEG2 that fast.
FF card doesn't have enough bandwidth for the HDTV, unless modded: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_TT_Budget_Patch
However, IIRC at least HD-1 is starting MPEG4 HDTV transmissions this summer which probably require much lesser bandwidth.
OK, thanks for the info :) but again could someone provide some sort of demo material?
