[mythtv] Re: Adding DVB-T support to MythTV

[matt.jarvis at philips.com]

Yep, I think MJPeg tools would definitely do the conversion to various 
different video formats, while ts2ps would demultiplex the initial 
transport stream. The only problem then is to get this stream into a 
virtual v4l interface ( if indeed this is possible ). I did look around on 
the web to try and find out if it's possible to pipe a stream in this way 
but couldn't find anything referring to similar stuff - if anyone knows 
how to do this I will certainly test it out. I would also imagine there 
would be timing and synchronising issues.

As I said in my previous mail the channel changing would require a script 
and a config file. The config file lists the channel frequencies on the 
dvb signal, and cross references them to the mythtv epg. This would need 
to be filled somehow by tv_grab_uk, or perhaps generated automatically by 
another script. The channel change script would then convert the mythtv 
channels to the correct frequency and call dvbtune.

However, even on the initial feedback to this post it certainly looks like 
there is some interest so here's hoping someone picks this up and runs 
with it. I'm available for testing, documentation and other non-programmer 
type stuff .....
