hi, > I do not know how hard it might be to actually replay > such a stream properly on a FF card, but why should it > be impossible to record the stream with a FF card? i think the limitation is the av7111; the chip simply cannot handle 20mbit datastream. since the tuner data outputs are not directly connected to the saa video bridge (like the budget patch does) there wont be a chance recording hdtv (mpeg2) with a ff card. > And why does it have to crash? vdr and the av7111 dont know that the signal is a hdtv stream. therfore they want to process it, since vdr was designed to do this ;) wait for the "new" streamingboxes (em8550 based) or new "dxr6" card (em8620 based), then it would be possible to "live-view" hdtv within vdr with a budget card - or design a hdtv ff card based on the trimedia pnx1500 chip :) -- randy
