Hello Hartmut, I changed the list cc from v4l to dvb, as that would be more appropriate. I'm just curious... Will saa713x with multiple frontends be able to use both frontends at once? Or just one at a time? (I would assume the latter) In the case of the cx2388x cards, Hauppauge has an HVR3000 card that has both DVB-T and DVB-S demods on it. Only one can be used at a time, as they would share a single transport to move the ts data. Steve Toth has been working on the 8802-mpeg port functionality of the cx88 driver, and he has created this device_acquire method, that allows the driver to select which frontend has access to a bus at any given moment. You might want to take a look at his tree for ideas: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/hvr1300-final?cmd=changeset;node=4b846f1d939b;style=gitweb This tree doesnt yet deal with multiple DVB frontends, but it does deal with MPEG Encoder vs. DVB-T demod. I believe the multiple frontend support is coming next, but I havent asked him about that. Of course, if the saa713x will allow both demods to function simultaneously, then the suggestion above will not apply at all. I'm just shooting ideas around, and asking for my curiousity... Dont feel pressured to act on this immediately. ;-) -Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
