[linux-dvb] TT3200 Status

2007-06-22 Thread Erich Newell
Manu and others? About a month ago I read about some exciting news about the TT3200 and DVB-S2. What is the current status on this? Is it stable enough that I should go ahead and order one? I'm no developer, but I wouldn't mind helping with testing as long as support has come far enough that I sh

I am very happy you inquired. I had planned on using the device with clear DVB-S2 transmissions on Echostar1. However, after your inquiry I thought I might double check my facts. In the end I discovered that although the streams are otherwise the same as DVB-S2 HD streams in Europe, here they use
