Hi, I friend of mine got his Cable Dbox2 some days ago, his is waiting for the smartcard to see the encrypted _free_ channels (stupid Kabel Deutschland). If everything goes well for him, I will also buy such a box. And you can be sure Freevo will get support for it asap.

So I can read the stream from the box and put it into the kaa.record filterchain just like a normal dvb card. > To zap to an other channel i have to send an http command to the > dbox2.

I can write a LCD plugin showing the Freevo status on the Dbox2 LCD. :) > I am still searching the right place to start coding. You sugestion is > good but i think to manage the zaping.

Well, I'm thinking of something with the same mbus interface as freevo-tvdev but it uses the external dbox as card. Or add it into the normal tvdev as special device Dbox2 with the ip as paramater (BTW, is there a ay to find the DBox2 in the network? That is the good thing about mbus, you just find something. maybe a small C based mbus module on the device itself would be nice) > PS: My freevo2 installation work now :-) Great, so start coding :) Dischi -- My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.
