Re: [vdr] Where do you live and what kind of broadcast do you receive?
Country: UK Transmission: DVB-T recently experimenting with DVB-S Encoding: MPEG-2 for SD (tens of channels) Hardware: 2 Win-TV budget cards, 1 Nexus for TV-OUT and some DVB-S tests Cheers, Jan 2009/3/18 Petri Helin phe...@googlemail.com: Hi, I have wondered for some time how broad has VDR spread and how is it really used. So, if people could post their location and the type of broadcast they are receiving, we could get some kind of understanding about the state of DVB (or ATSC) as it is now. Just a brief description, using myself as an example: Country: Finland Transmission: DVB-C Encoding: MPEG-2 for SD (tens of channels) and h.264 for HD (less than 10 channels) The main point is to get an idea of the standards used across the globe. I know that wiki etc give some idea, but you can never beat the first hand information. -Petri ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Problem with v1.6.0 and two DBS-S cards
Moin! This sounds like a stupid answer to the above question, but I _might_ have the same problem. I'm not sure because I rarely watch live TV. The other day, though, I wasn't able to watch all channels, and I thought there was only one recording active (I have two DVB-T cards). Wasn't able to check because baby woke up ;-) This is with a c't VDR: 1.6.0-6ctvdr2 Cheers, Jan 2008/9/15 Stefan-W. Hahn [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, yesterday I switched my VDR from v1.4.1 to v1.6.0 on a debian system. I'm running two DVB-S cards (Nexus FF and Nova). The update was without any problem. But today I found a problem: When recording on one program I can view at the same time just the channels of the same bouquet but no other ones (two cards!!). But recording simultaniously on two different bouquets works. With v1.4.1 there was no problem in recording one channel and switching to all other channels. I didn't find any hint on the mailinglist or vdr-portal about this problem. Is there any other having the same problem? Are there any hints how to solve this problem? Stefan -- Stefan-W.

Udo Richter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I cannot confirm that. My VDR always had strange tuning problems that are caused by mysterious hardware problems (including some time on VDR 1.4.7), so having no signal on DVB-S is not un-typical for my system. Same here. I'm using two Nova-Ts for DVB-T and a TT 2.3 for output. I don't even have a satellite dish!

Re: [vdr] next features?
VDR User [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, Besides, I don't think that many users are still using some ancient pc with a slow cpu like Klaus has. I'm using an old Compaq Deskpro with a 700MHz Pentium III with 384MB. It sports two DVB-T cards as input and one FF DVB-S as output. Works perfectly. Why would you bother when you can buy something way better faster for cheap these days? Why would you bother updating when it works just fine? And even the cheapest system I could buy today is still more expensive than keeping what I have now.

Re: [vdr] adding a budget card to my VDR
Hi all, I don't think you can stream output from other devices thru the nexus tv-out but I am not 100% sure. Hm... I'm using a DVB-S FF card as TV-out and two budget DVB-T cards as the input. I do not even have a sat dish. My FF does ONLY do TV-out.

[vdr] 2 DVB-T cards == can't record
Hi all! I have a problem with my VDR setup (c't VDR 6): I currently use a DVB-S TT 2.3 card as output device (no dish/LNB attached) and a DVB-T Nova-T as input device for UK freeview channels. That works just fine. Now I want to add a second Nova-T so I can record and watch something else at the same time. But as soon as the second DVB-T card is inside the machine, I cannot record anything anymore. I think there's two problems: 1. I am trying to use the antenna out on one Nova-T to pass the signal through to the second. That does not seem to work and the second card does not find any signal when using channelscan. This is something I need to figure out myself. But 2. even if I am watching a channel and a timer starts on that very channel, VDR goes into the endless restart loop. I'm guessing it is trying to tune into the channel on the other card, but why? I guess the ultimate question is: once I've sorted the antenna out (I guess I'll buy a splitter or something), will it just work?
