The kernel modules "ddbridge" or "ngene" do represent the PCIe-Bridges, not the receiving frontend. "ngene" based cards have been the former devices, with less possibilities to expand tuners, DVB-S2 only available and no CI support. The first versions of these devices has been a PCIe PCB (V5.4 and prior) with just 2 DVB-S2 tuners and no connector for additional ones. The last version (V5.5) of "ngene" based devices had also 2 DVB-S2 tuner and one connector for additional 2x DVB-S2 (Flex-Modules). I'm running a V5.5 with 4x DVB-S2 in a VDR since March 2011 connected to a SCR environment, perfect :-) "ddbridge" did enhance the possibilities. There are two different solutions out there, either the classic DVB-S2 dual-tuner PCIe similar to the V5.x ones, called V6.x. This PCIe PCB do have two connectors for Flex-Modules, which can be a single CI, dual CI, dual DVB-S2 or Dual DVB-C/T. Alternatively there are or have been the bridges only (no tuners) available, either as PCIe 1x PCB or mPCIe. AFAIK there has been two versions out, one with 2 connectors, one with 4 connectors. With the last you could build a VDR with up to 8 tuners connected to a single [m]PCIe card ... The dual Flex-Modules of the V5.5 and V6.2 are interchangable, they are bottomline the same, just normal product care over the time ... I'm running also an L4M Dual DVB-S2 V5.4 (ngene) and a V6.2 (ddbridge) in test and development maschines. === Kind regards fnu _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
