Re: [Freevo-users] Dual DVD-T tuner and Freevo
For DVB-T ( I have a USB Nova T Stick from hauppauge) I have the
following VCR command:
VCR_CMD = CONF.mplayer + ' -dumpstream -dumpfile %(filename)s
dvb://%(channel)s'
TV_RECORDFILE_SUFFIX = '.ts'
It just uses mplayer to dump the stream straight to disk. This works
very well and takes only a tiny amount of CPU (something like 5%)

For watching TV and also recording ?
The only supported option with freevo-1 is to dedicate one of the two
tuners for recording and the other for playing, this should work fine
with DVB cards, though I don't have either DVB or a DVB card. But other
people on the list have.
If I'm not mistaken, DVB cards write mpeg files so I think you don't
need to use mencoder to capture the data stream. Search the wiki for DVB
and you may come up with something.
For even if I specify dvb://2@channel in VCR_CMD, the
/var/cache/freevo/record.video0 is still exist?
