Working fine |
The card uses the budget-av driver in Linux.
MythTV finds two tuners on this card. SD recordings hardly impact the CPU utilization. Viewing or recording (non encrypted) HD content uses about 80% of my CPU capacity. (CPU Type?)
Kaffeine 1.0-svn3 works fine. Searching for channels worked after trying different "sources" (eg de-Muenchen) in the device settings dialoge of Kaffeine. HD video did not work propperly at first, but after altering the buffer in the file .kde/share/apps/kaffeine/xine-config it worked.
