Hi guys,
I am involved in a networked ATSC tuner (dual tuners, 100baseTX network).
The video stream is UDP based and it has a TCP control channel. Two
machines can independently control the two tuners if desired.
This is an embedded device, along the lines of the DBOX2 ?
It is an embedded device.
I just checked out the trunk and found the DBOX2 code - I will take a
deeper look at how the code works - Thanks.
I have just recently started playing with MythTV and I would like to add
MythTV support.
One approach could be to use a user-space app to receive the TS and
create a loopback driver so it looks like a normal video capture device.
Another approach would be to add support directly to MythTV. This would
avoid looping through the kernel and would be easier for end-users.
Adding it directly to MythTV would probably be much easier, especially
with respect to handling errors properly.
The advantage of writing a driver would be that any DVB application
could theoretically use the device and MythTV wouldn't need any
modification. This was the rationale for the USB DVB drivers; in that
case it turned out to be a nightmare to support in MythTV and actually
requires it's own code path for tuning anyway...

Hmmm.... maybe direct MythTV support is the way to go. Much as I would
like it to work with any application, clean and simple is usually better.
Time to try compiling trunk MythTV I guess :-)
