I search a little about the SKNet MonsterTV HDUS and the dvb driver, but I think the BCAS card-reader is not working, is it true? ----- Message d'origine ---- De : Akihiro TSUKADA <tskd2@xxxxxxxxxxx> À : Romont Sylvain <psgman24@xxxxxxxx> Cc : linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Envoyé le : Mar 20 Octobre 2009, 23 h 05 min 14 s Objet : Re: Re : ISDB-T tuner > so, which device can I buy, working in Japan, in linux, and in digital (working after 2011)? known to work devices 0. 774 Friio white http://www.friio.com/ (in Japanese) USB2.0 ISDB-T, with a card-reader device, without BCAS card DVB driver: in v4l-dvb main repository direct net shopping only, pretty expensive. card reader is very unstable due to its large initial power consumption, and pratically needs a self-powered USB hub to used this reader. (receiver itself is OK in bus-powered) 1. Earthsoft PT1 http://earthsoft.jp/PT/index.html (in Japanese) PCI 2xISDB-T + 2xISDB-S, 4 concurrent streaming no BCAS card, no card-reader. DVB driver: in v4l-dvb main repository very popular in this area but discontinued. PT2 has been released but highly out of stock, and no driver yet. 2. SKNet MonsterTV HDUS, or HDUSF http://www.sknet-web.co.jp/product/mtvhdus.html USB2.0 ISDB-T, with BCAS card&reader, remote-controller a bit old but maybe most available in stores. I don't know much about this device, but it is reported to work in Linux, (with some firmware hack?) and some people seems to have written DVB driver. you may find it from http://2sen.dip.jp/cgi-bin/hdusup/upload.cgi (up0432.zip??) I heard that some another version(series?) have internal encryption and are difficult to make it work in Linux. note 0. DVB drivers output scrambled streams as is. an user-land application is necessary to descramble. stand-alone descrambler: http://www.marumo.ne.jp/junk/arib_std_b25-0.2.4.lzh patch to mplayer/gstreamer demuxer: http://2sen.dip.jp/cgi-bin/dtvup/source/up0176.zip note 1. you have to prepare yourself PC/SC card reader and a BCAS card if the device does not bundle them. I guess you already have a BCAS card in hand already;) Card reader must be supported by PC/SC to be used with the above descrambling applications. for example, http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-language/product/B001NEIRH0/ref=dp_change_lang?ie=UTF8&language=en_JP is told to work, but I'm not sure. note 2. re-using a BCAS card for non-autorized (bundeled) devices is probably against the EULA of the card. (one seg. programs are not scrambled and can be viewed without a BCAS card). --------- akihiro -------------------------------------- GyaO! - Anime, Dramas, Movies, and Music videos [FREE] http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/gyao/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
