hi Bob, all work to support BBFrames in the Linux kernel is done by Christian - in fact it's a long lost work from 5 years ago: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-December/022217.html and i hope it won't be lost again. i just encouraged Christian that his work is important and there are people interested in it - you're one such example. so, i offered Christian to help him with i can. i guess more people appreciating what his doing and encourage him will give him better motivation to release the code to the public. however, i guess the delay is more, because it's not easy and it requires time to prepare the code for initial public release and that's why the delay. so, i don't have Christian's code and i'm eager as you're to be able to try it out, but we need to be patient. i'm sure that after there is some public release and repository more people will be interested to contribute to that work. best regards, konstantin On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 6:33 PM, Bob Winslow <bob.news@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> that's really great news! i'm looking forward to look at the code when >> the public repository is ready. i'm sure i'm not the only one and the >> news would be especially exciting for TBS 6925 owners, which use >> Linux, but it's away beyond that, because the real news here is >> working base-band support in 'dvb-core' of V4L. also, it's really good >> that SAA716x code seems to just work with BBFrames and no further >> changes are required there. >> > > Hi Christian, Konstantin, > > > Well, my TBS 6925 just came in the mail yesterday and I am excited to plug it > in and start playing with it.
