The source for pcHDTV's code for QAM, DVB and so on was uploaded tonight to pchdtv.freedesktop.org. What this helps out with is if you get this cvs code, you don't have to deal withthe various builds from the dvb or video4linux folks. It's basically a merge of the code that works out of the box so to say. There's very little in what it diffs between the two places, but enough that it helps. I'll post cvs checkout commands tomorrow on that webpage for those interested. This is also a great way for those who want to work on the pcHDTV drivers to be able to get their hands dirty. Changes taken from this cvs repository will be send to the video4linux and dvb folks until all the changes we want are into the kernel, and for future improvements to be prepped for the kernel. For the vast majority of people though, I *highly* recommend sticking with the non-DVB way of using a pcHDTV card. There is more functionality with the non-DVB version and it will take some time before all the special pieces of the HDTV code in myth are migrated over to myths DVB structure. My estimate would be 1-2 months to have things working stable to where /I/ would recommend using DVB. -- The cvs repository that I will post will have support for QAM on the standard cx88xx driver, not just by using DVB to get the QAM signals. So another reason you need not to move to DVB quite yet if what you're looking for is QAM support. --Brandon
