[vdr] Looking for DVB-T card (TVHD compatible) for vdr

2008-02-02 Thread karim
@igor and @nico,

Thanks for your responses.

In France, MPEG4 HDTV DVB-T will begin shortly (several weeks). I don't know 
yet if we will swap to DVB-T2 around 2009-2010 :-( Since I need two DVB-T 
tuners by vdrbox, I won't buy WinTV-HVR-4000, it will be too much expensive 
(env 190 € each in France !). It's better for me to choose a double tuner PCI 
DVB-T card. As any budget can receive DVB-T, even in HDTV mode, I plan to buy 
one of theses items :

Choice 1 :
http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/products/DVBTdual4.aspx
= unfortunately, I didn't find this hardware in Europe. Where to buy gives 
glowlounge techno in UK, FNAC and Surcouf in France, but none of theses 
has the card. Could you please confirm that there is no compatibility problem, 
with this model in France ? If someone know a reseller in Europe, please give 
as the link !

Choice 2 :
http://www.hauppauge.fr/pages/products/data_nova-t-500.html
= No problem to find this card in France, but I am not 100% shure that the 
hardware will be TVHD compliant.
Hauppauge doesn't communicate about that, contrary to fusionhdtv. 

@all,
As usually, any comment will be appreciate.

Thanks.

[vdr] Looking for DVB-T card (TVHD compatible) for vdr

2008-01-31 Thread karim
Hello,

My vdrbox currently running with 2 Nexus cards. I plan to upgrade the box, 
for receiving several TVHD FTA channels (from SAT and TNT). 
At the end, I hope vdr could run with :
- 1 x Technotrend S2-3200 HD
- 1 x Nexus DVB-S (or 1 x Technotrend S2-3200 HD)
- 1 x DVB-T double-tuner, TVHD compatible

I am very interested by PCI-E double-tuner cards, like Cinergy 2400i DT, 
unfortunately there is no Linux driver yet, because PCI-E format. Then I've
to
choose one TVHD compatible double-tuner DVB-T in PCI format.

I found the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T500 but I don't know if this card is TVHD
compatible.
Is it true that all budget DVB-T cards (ie without hardware MPEG2 or 4
embedded) are
TVHD compatible (like S2-3200 HD for DVB-S) ?

Thanks for clarify this, and help me to buy the good card.
If you know any other good card, please give me the link.

Well, I don't know about France, but here in Finland broadcasters are going to
wait for DVB-T2 until adopting HDTV in a wider scale, which means that current
DVB-T devices won't be able to receive future HD channels. There are no DVB-T2
cards available now--first models will probably arrive in 2009.

If you already have terrestrial HDTV channels running now, they are sent as
DVB-T, and any budget DVB-T card (Nova-T 500 included) can receive them.

Niko Mikkilä
