Hi Thomas, Thank you for your answer. Actually the 7000H is sold by HiCAST as an SDIO module. I am not particularly concerned about the features that broadcasters are using. I'm rather more interested in knowing if the equipment is already supported or if i have to develop software to have a DVB-H full functional receiver. Namely: Will linuxtv support time-slicing and MPE-FEC Best regards, Miguel Thomas Pinz escreveu: > Hi Manu, > >> I would like if there is any intention of supporting the DVB-H >> technology in linux. >> As I understand the most popular (and apparently unique) DVB-H receiver >> uses the dibcom chip.
