You are doing is better support in Freevo 2.0. We split the logic in extra apps. So Freevo tells a tvserver what it should record or stream for live tv. The tvserver is connected to tvdev apps in the LAN and can control them. So what you are doing here is to add a tvdev for a dbox. This sounds very cool, imagine to use such a box just as dvb-s card in the LAN with the Freevo mbux interface. > I am impressed from freevo.

Or if you don't have much space, you could write a small C app to record on that box and connect it via mbus with the rest. > Should i post the files directly here or send someone to integrate > it into the freevo tree? If you could make it work for 2.0, I'm happy to integrate it. > the disadvantage is that i have no epg on the dbox channels.
