Hi all!
I am quite satiesfied with my freevo and xbox/debian setup so far - but I would
like to move now to another system and need some advise.
1. what is the best TV Tuner card for freevo? Especially: are digital tuners
supported as well (input: digital cable in germany)
hauppauge pvr cards or similar work quite well. i am using a pvr-250 for
some time now and am really happy with it. concerning dvb support i
cannot give much advice, but iirc dischi/rshortt have dvb cards in their
freevo boxes.
2. what is the best way of setting everything up? TV Tuner Card in a remote
server, that runs the whole time (for recording tasks). Or getting rid of the
xbox setup and use a box-pc with the tuner card in it? But then I need to leave
it running, when I want to record things, right?
get rid of the xbox a build a small and silent mini-itx system. if you
have a tv-card with hardware mp2-encoder (which is highly recommended),
an old p3 system will suffice. p3 cpus are quite powerfull and can be
kept cool without much noise.
3. Is it useful to watch TV only via freevo when considering the questions
above? When I use a remote record server, then I need an additional TV Tuner
Card in the PC, that is used as the freevo frontend, right? Or can I transport
the TV Images via network from the System with the remote TV Tuner Card to the
freevo frontend System? Is this useful and/or practiable??
freevo does not have streaming support at this time. it could become
available if the timeshifting stuff is done. personally i still use my
tvset for watching live tv, because zapping in freevo is too slow. :)
I'm happy for every input!!
cheers,
Hans
