On 1080i channels there is sometimes a still picture for 0.5 seconds, but afterwards the picture gets fine again immediately. Zapping intervals are around 1-2s from HD to HD and below 1s from HD/SD to SD channels. Moving fast forward and backwards in recordings is working flawlessly including moving the cut-marks, sometimes there are a few block artifacts. All in all it feels 'rock stable'. The picture is upscaled to 1080i and looks much better than on eHD (Reel). Hope this helps. Best regards, Roland Thanks for this translation, this is exactly what I was looking for. (well, I can use google translate, but ...). So all I need to do is to wait for the card, as I preordered it about a year ago and it looks like, it will fits my needs.

Re: [vdr] TT Premium S2-6400
Anyone know if TT is planning to make cable version? At least Canal+ is sending in full HD (1920x1080p25) in cable here. I already ordered this S2 card just for output device as I'm using cable reception. I guess I need to patch VDR to disable recording with it but can it handle scaling from 1080p recording to its 1080i output? -- Kende ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

This seems to be very promising ! I was a little bit surprised to see in the specifications that it needs a CPU minimum P4 2 Ghz. That is a pity, because it should be great if it could be used in a thinclient like the HP T5000 series with 1 Ghz and 1 Gb. Did anyone gave it a try ? thanks, SP I know that some of you (especially Klaus :) ) already own this card, as a few arrived to dvbshop. I'm asking you to share some experiences, as I hardly understand german discussions on vdrportal. Currently I'm having two VDR machines, one with DVB-S Premium + CRT TV, and another one with DVB-S2 budget + xine. What I would like to know: with the new S2-6400 card does VDR works as rock solid as worked with FF DVB-S cards?

Thats probably because you need at least an 2GHz P4 to boot windows and a virus scanner nowadays. The CPU and RAM demands should be not much higher than with an old SD FF card, as long as you only handle the encoded video stream like VDR does. The highest 'demand' is probably having an PCI Express socket already. (Not that PCI bandwidth wouldn't be enough either, but PCIE probably seemed more future proof and simpler.)

[vdr] Can VDR match EIT on SID only?
It looks like my DVB provider is broadcasting incorrect EIT information. The SIDs listed are correct but the ONID and TSID are invalid. Can VDR ignore the ONID/TSID and match EIT information solely on the SID? Would this be hard to patch? It looks like eit.c would need to be modified so it can retrieve a channel based on SID. Currently it calls Channels.GetByChannelID(getOriginalNetworkId(), getTransportStreamId(), getServiceId()); Would it require anything besides adding a Channels.GetBySIDOnly() function and using that instead? ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I seriously doubt virus scanners have anything to do with anything. That seems more trying to take a cheap jab at Windows then anything else. Anyways, the requirements may be what they are because of what is actually offloaded to the decoder. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
