Regarding the HVR-3000, linux support for it isn't great - some drivers
were developed by Steven Toth, but they never made it into the mainline
kernel and I think he's pretty much abandoned them in favour of supporting
the HVR-4000.
As for simultaneous recordings, whenever I've tried to record DVB-S and
Analog at the same time it hasn't worked - one or the other has stopped.
I don't know if this is a limitation of the drivers or the card.
Saying that I have DVB-s working with Mythtv, but I never use the analog
or DVB-T parts of the card - I feel I'd be better off with a Nova-S or
something similar.
Thats my experience anyway.
Robert.
Thank you very much. So according to the info you gave me then the HVR-3000 is really not a good option for me, as I'd really want to use both the DVB-T and DVB-S, probably at the same time.
Do anybody knows if the same thing apply for LifeView FlyDVB Trio?
Thank you very much,
Eduard
