The HDTV decoder card in PCI format will be first used for the Reelbox Avantgarde (based on a Mini-ITX-PC). The usage in the NetCeiver itself in a PC-less combo is planned, but I don't think a vdr can run on that platform without serious restrictions. For example, the NetCeiver with its current firmware has no real DVB-API, as the CPU has nothing to do with the TS streaming, it only controls the tuners. The rest (filtering and network encapsulation) is done in the hardware. So it will be more a small STB application without bells and whistles,. But the chances are high that the HD card (running with the Micronas DeCypher) will be seperately available. As the Reelbox uses vdr, Linux drivers for the HD card and the NetCeiver (a DVB-API emulation and a vdr plugin with more features) will be there from the start. -- Georg Acher, acher@xxxxxxxxx http://www.lrr.in.tum.de/~acher "Oh no, not again !"
