Hi, I'm trying to build an interface for tuning various input cards on linux boxes (amoung others dvb cards), and I wanted to know how much it is possible to detect beforehand. * What is the best way to detect dvb cards? I've been thinking about hal, but there are no obvious keys to look for to say that this is a dvb card, and to link it back to the dvb adapter device file. Another idea could be to scan /dev/dvb... * Is it possible to find (in a script friendly, macro way) which type of card (dvb-s dvb-c or dvb-t, or even those other stuff) * Is it possible to detect if a card is connected to a feed and which DiseqC satno points where? ( I fear the minimum user input is "card num", "satnum" and "sat" then run dvbscan ) * Is there really no way to tune a dvb-t card without the initial tuning data to dvbscan? Anyway, I might be willing to contribute some hal glue if it turns out to be the best way for discovery, though not fully coded yet. Having lshal say something like: info.capability="dvb-s" dvb.device="/dev/dvb/adapter0" would be very nice. Regards Sigmund A. Helberg
