Hi. I'm new to the list (and hacking DVB-S), so bear with me. I was wondering which of the supported/listed cards are compatible with US FTA (and DSS) satellites. The table doesn't distinguish one way or another on the website's Wiki page. I've found the Chaintech/Visionplus cards locally. They seem to both use the 878A chip (Connexant? Brooktree?). I also tried to compile the latest 1.1.1 drivers from the website on Fedora 3 (Linux 2.6.9-1) but had some compilation errors (some of which I managed to fix, but not the bit about open(), close(), lseek(), and read() being called in a kernel module... what's going on there??). I guess I'll try to figure out how to set up CVS next and try those sources instead. Also, assuming I don't care about MPEG decoding in hardware, but want (a) HDTV support and (b) streaming as MPEG-over-IP/IPTV to a remote player... what are good cards? And is there a wrapper process to do this that supports this and also does UPnP tuning? Or is that something I need to write myself? I looked briefly on the Wiki, but didn't see anything about UPnP. Oh, and how many cards support decoding more than 1 channel simultaneously? Thanks, -Philip
