Yes - but I haven't come to the point where I could actually use it, yet. Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Well, much to my regret I have had next to no time free to spend on VDR in the past few months. There is still a new open case sitting on my desk, awaiting to start running with DVB-S2 cards and an eHD output device, and software-wise I'm almost finished implementing TS for Transfer Mode. I hope it won't be long before I'll have more time for this. Klaus ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I'll be really interested in a vdr version using TS, any schedule on when we could expect it ?

Hello,
AC3 was working fine for me with xine and my DD receiver BEFORE this
