Yes, I've read the dvbnet code. Finding this "nugget" was where the whole idea started in the first place ...
Still, I am a bit confused on how to approach the whole thing. What do I ask the sat-provider to transmit? What kind of data will I receive? As far as I can understand its as simple as: - give the sat-provider a T1 drop and fire UDP packets into it - point dish, get a SS card & dvb drivers running, etc. - fire up dvbnet, choose your frequencies, PID, etc. - read UDP packets on LAN oh forgot - pay sat-provider big $$$ What I am missing are some more details on this as they pertain to N.A. and any issues to watch out for. I'd also feel a lot better about this, if someone said "been there, done that". ;-) Cheers Andreas On Tue, 2004-02-10 at 09:54, Holger Waechtler wrote: > Andreas Schiffler wrote: > > Hmm, thanks. > > > > But that does quite what I wanted to know.
