        Hello Everyone,
        

        This is my second post
          regarding putting VDR on a BBB.  I was a little disappointed
          that no one responded to my first posting.
        

        Since then I have poured
          over google to find as much as I can about what I want to do.
           On Ubuntuforums I found a user that installed VDR using
        apt-get install vdr <and
          4 xine plugins>.  I was amazed that it all installed
          without any errors and when I rebooted the BBB it was running
          VDR automatically.
        I updated some of the
          configuration files but when I did apt-get install
          vdr-plugin-hdhomerun (to support my HDHomeRun Dual) I received
          an error
         that it wanted a newer
          version of VDR, but
            the version, 1.7.22 is newer than the plugin???  I was also
            hoping to get VDR version 2 because it seems to 
        have support for HD
            TV and ATSC that I think I need here in the US. It seems that
            recording TV from the HDHR to disk is an easy task, if I can
            find 
        the software to do
            it.
        

        My question is, does
            anyone think it is possible to get VDR 2 running on a
            BeagleBone Black (running Ubuntu 12.04) with a Silicon Dust
            HDHomeRun Dual
        as the tuner?
      
    
    If the 1.7 branch already works, vdr 2 should works too. The 1.7
    branch is the developer version of vdr 2 and already support hd. vdr
    2 was released a few months ago and should be available on the next
    release of your distro (probably 13.10 for ubuntu). I don't know
    hdhomerun but there is something called dvbhdhomerun witch is able
    to make the hdhomerun appears as a classic dvb device. Perhaps it's
    what you need.

    
    Marc.

    
          I'm an experienced
            user, but new to Linux.  I've already spent several weeks
            learning and I have no problem learning more to see this 
        finished.  But am I
            beating a dead horse?  Internet wisdom seems to indicate
            that MYTHTV is the way to go for the HDHomerun.  But I like
            everything I have
        read about VDR.
        

        I look forward to
            your suggestions.
        

        Thanks Bruce
