Does this mean convergence(?) will be producing a DVB-S/C/T PCI card that - can deliver the full TS - can do (PES-) MPEG decoding in hardware (the format VDR currently uses) - supports CAMs through the LL interface - has a fullscreen OSD with at least 256 colors - has a builtin AC3 output port - has A/V and RGB output (others?) - does not require any firmware (or at least no "closed source FW") - is _really_stable_ - did I forget anything? If so, I'd buy 3 right away! ;-) Klaus -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
