Has any progress been made on development of support for the TwinHan VP-1020 DVB PCI card?
In the following message, http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2002/07-2002/msg00234.html "Dr. Manfred Hartl" asked if a development card was available for donation or loan. TwinHan has a Linux SDK on their website, but I am not sure how it interfaces with the Linux kernel and suspect there are pieces missing from the package that make it useful. Here's a link to the SDK: http://www.twinhan.com/english/files/sdk%20for%20linux.zip There is a precompiled library (libdtv.a/libdtv.so) and a demo app (demo.c). According to another person who tried it, the sample application didn't do anything (possibly indicating that it's expecting a driver that does not exist). These cards are becoming a more common in North America now that some vendors are importing them and they're around $100 USD. The cards that the linux-dvb project currently supports are not available for sale in North America to my knowledge. The following vendors carry this card: http://www.sadoun.com/ http://www.mpeg2-dvb.com/ I am sure there are others, but those are the two that get the most attention on the DVB forums and such. I have attempted to contact TwinHan about Linux support, but have not received a response from their technical support. They do have an NDA agreement posted on their web page, but I am not sure how to go about submitting it and getting the required driver (and hopefully source) or additional information. Perhaps somebody else has been more successful in this quest? Any additional information is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
