I had a quick look at some of the US versions and it looks interesting. I got vdr-iptv working with an external cable box and a pvr card, so using a script we could send off whatever card was necessary to change channels and bring in the input. The downside would probably be a long channel change time. More native support could be good.. However, I wonder what the advantage would be to having this over an internal pci dvb card or even a usb one? The pci card is surely cheaper, and the functionality is already there in VDR? _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
