At the moment I am experimenting with HDTV on my Pioneer PDP435XDE. I can receive all the test broadcasts via Astra(s) and Hotbird. I use vdr-xine on an Athlon 3000+ (2.3Ghz), 512Mb RAM, Skystar2 and a Nvidia MX440 using X11 at 720p. The picture is perfect and perfectly smooth. Unfortunately I cannot receive the DVB-S2 MPEG4 broadcast of the SKY UK HD demo at 28.2 degrees East.
how much cpu is used with this setup?
However, I still revert back to my trusty Technotrend FF DVB-S with CA for normal TV viewing - it is still much better than doing things via X11, which just doesn't seem right!!
well, that's due to the lack of proper drivers for fb, isn't it? and what's the problem of using x anyway? I'm not using it myself and I understand that's cumbersome, but once setup properly it should just work.
it would be such a neat solution to replace this with your "dream card" so that I may once again receive everything without swapping over to view the beauty of HDTV (great for demos to family and friends though!)
provided the "dream card" has proper drivers to work under Linux......
