Which device did you used > to receive DVB-H streams? If I understand what you are asking, as far as I know in the area where I am, all DVB-H services are broadcast with modulation parameters that makes it possible to receive them with any DVB-T device that can be used with Linux-DVB, so you do not need to search for a specific receiver. Any will work, and I deliberately chose *not* to use my TerraTec to verify that I could tune DVB-H on something else not specifically intended for that as well as DVB-T. I do not know (without looking) if this is always the case, that DVB-H modulation can always be received by DVB-T -- just as I don't know what is the difference between a DVB-H- capable receiver used with Linux-DVB and today's DVB-T devices. Someone else would have to clarify that, if it's important.

Based on what I see so far, you need to rely heavily on external applications, but as long as they can parse the data within the PIDs that I'm trying to trace the flow of, I think the existing API can get you there. Of course, I could be speaking complete rubbish, so I'll let someone else correct me -- I'm still working my way through the PAT->PMT->etc->UDP-payload path by hand. barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
