Hey all! My current assignment at work is to read some EPG data from a transport stream so that I can process it later. I've been digging through the LinuxTV project and it looks just like the doctor ordered... The problem is that I'm fairly new to this kind of software and I really don't know how to begin to tackle the problem... I have a satellite dish connected to a professional IRD with an ASI output, and I have a Dektec PCI ASI card installed on my Red Hat 9 PC. As far as I could understand, the LinuxTV system is designed to work out-of-the-box with DVB-S/T/C cards, but I don't need the front-end/CA parts of LinuxTV (because the IRD and the ASI card already do that for me), so I guess there is a way to "trick" the demux part of LinuxTV to get an ASI feed instead of what the frontend/ca part give it. I just want to read the PSI/SI tables, but I really don't want to parse the ASI stream... that would be a real nightmare... But, as I stated early, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the overall complexity of this system (me being new to some details of Linux programming and all), so my request is if someone could point me to the right direction, I would appreciate it very much Thanks in advance Diogo de Andrade Spellcaster Studios diogo.andrade@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
