What I really want is to redirect the output from > skystar to graphic card (connected to a TV through s-video or VGA). I do that using VDR. I use dvb cards in a Debian linux box. Then I run VDR (http://www.tvdr.de) with the vdr-xine plugin, and have my output going to an Nvidia video card. I use a DVI->HDMI cable going from the video card to a 60" tv. I've also connected my mainboard SPDIF-OUT to the video card SPDIF-IN so both audio and video are transmitted on the DVI-HDMI cable. The reason for using the Nvidia video card was mainly to take advantage of vdpau which offloads the mpeg 2/4 decoding to the gpu instead of cpu (ie: allowing you to do HDTV on a slow/low power cpu). -- 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
