Won't it be that some poor sucker signs away their soul for NDA access to the specifics of the chips, or is it possible that the chip manufacturer might deliver already-written drivers (though looking at the existing TDAxxxxx frontend code, the former seems most likely, and I don't know how well this one manufacturer is generally with linux support) ? Support for the tuner chip above seems to have been attempted about a year ago. The above chips might make their way into set-top-boxen in half a year or so; whether they'd also be found eventually in PC-cards or USB-sticks so soon is hard to say -- but possibly by the time DVB-T2 starts for real, there may be some other cards based on other chipsets presently on the drawing board as well. And speaking of chipsets used in available hardware, does anyone know what might be used in the recently-released Hauppauge HVR-930C, a USB 2.0 stick with DVB-C as well as DVB-T support? thanks, barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
