Dear gentlemen (you know who you are), I'm back to "T230C v2" and things look significantly better than half a year ago. As far as I can tell, the vanilla driver (dvbsky) works just fine, I can receive DVB-T and DVB-T2. I haven't tested the IR remote yet, I actually have a wireless mini-keyboard, will get to IR later. I have a few further small issues to polish in the user space config and mechanical integration, before "production phase-in" :-) Namely I'd like to thank the following people for making this possible: Antti Palosaari Jan Pieter van Woerkom Sean Young and of course MCC the master maintainer. Plus a few further people in the user space department: Klaus Schmidinger, Rolf Ahrenberg to name just two - but there are many others. FYI: I'm aiming for DVR as the TV viewer and recorder app, with vdr-vaapidevice-plugin as the front-end part, or maybe the latest developments of the softhddevice (also with VAAPI support). Just about yesterday I've become aware of a few friendly German-speaking hackers at vdr-portal.de who seem to have quite a bit going on at that software front. I've compiled fresh VDR and about 5 of its dependency packages, all without significant compile-time errors, in Debian 10. I have a shiny new J4105-ITX to test on and over the last month I've spent a few happy evenings hacking away at the funny little hardware (mechanical integration, custom-length cabling, power supply stuff). I'm not taking the easy mainstream route :-) It's all starting to take shape and make sense, and to my surprise, the Gemini Lake apparently renders the picture better than the temporary Skylake machine I used to test on in the summer. All the best in the new year, thank you, keep having fun :-) Frank Rysanek
