In case anyone is interested, the code for DVB support is written, incl.
DVB-T and DVB-S support. Ed gave me a shell account on his machine with
a DVB-T card (thanks!), so I was able to try the code. Channel chaning
doesn't give errors anymore. Reading of the MPEG data from the dvr
device node does give an error, and I don't know why.
The code quality should be more or less OK. I'd just like to introduce a
few abstract base classes. And a bit general cleanup is needed. Also,
the ts->ps filtering function ts_to_ps() in libdvbdev is a hack and
slow, but I don't plan to change that myself unless it turns out to be a
problem.
If anyone wants to play with it, I am uploading once in a while (via a
script) the current status to
<http://www.bucksch.com/xfer/dvb-N.tar.bz2> with N being a serial
number. Unapply (patch -R) any older patches before applying new ones.
