Hi. I was just wondering whether anyone was currently using a DVB card with Freevo. I've just installed a new Avervmedia DVB-T card in my freevo Box (It's a budget kind with no MPEG2-decoder) and have the latest cvs of mplayer playing tv from it with no problems (eg with the command mplayer -vo mga dvb://"TEN Digital", where "TEN Digital" is the channel name).

Has there been any work done on modifying the channel code to deal with named channels rather than numeric ones ? I imagine some kind of translation table would be the easiest way to go. This would also have to be implemented in the record_daemon module aswell I imagine.

I also want to record from my external Sattellite box via the (net yet operational, but should work eventually using vfl2/bttv) composite video in. Has any body got using an external channel changing command rather than bttv/mplayer/VFL channel changing to work ?

Anyone toyed with the idea of writing the DVB mpeg 2 streams straight to disk. I could probably implement this using -vop copy easiliy enough. However I might need two separate mplayer command lines to passthrough mpeg2 from the card and yet encode (divx or whatever) anything coming from my Sat box via the composite input (bt878).

While I'm at it does anyone have tv_grab_au working for fox/sattellite channels yet ? (I want to get at least f.x sports working before the rugby world cup, I have 48 games of rugby to watch there and I don't think work will give me the month off :))

If this hasn't been implemented and I do it myself, any suggestions from the current developers about how to go about it ? I'd like to get it put into CVS if it works. I've done a few little patches before and it drives me nutty patching freevo every time I need to update.


Regards,


Graeme
