Re: DVB-T2 device in France

Thanks for all your answers !

I finally opted for the Digital Devices Octopus Net, which DVT-T2 tuners
are equipped with Sony D2837ER demodulators, which happen to completely
solve the bad reception issue. Great !

Now I have a whole new set of problems : SAT>IP (with the satip plugin
which seems to be great, and channel scan which is as of now
non-solved ; too bad the Octopus couldn't channel-scan by itself and
provide an initial channel.conf or VLC playlist) and Raspberry Pi client
which is a bit tricky (power issues, media player, disappointingly weak
CEC support on the TV side, etc...).

At least, I can upgrade the VDR server without breaking the DVB kernel
drivers, and upgrade the VDR client without breaking X.org or
xinelib ;-)
