<div dir="ltr">I'm currently reading through the forum. The board is used in their premium DVB receiver (Reelbox Avantgarde). The VDR guys are very actively using the board as well.<br>All you need on the linux side is a dvbloopback module from their SVN. There are additional tools for debugging and uploading firmware. The developers confirmed that it can be used by any Linux application which can talk to the standard DVB API. The only issue seems to be DVB-S2 which can't be used without a patch for VDR. A similar patch would need to be created for Mythtv. The other DVB variants are working out of stock.<br>
The board itself is around 150 euro. The DVB boards are between 70 and 100 euro (single tuner, dual tuner). A power supply is not contained and must be purchased additionally (around 70 euro). <br>The nice thing is that the board can be used by different backends in parallel (if resources are free).<br>
I'm waiting until the first Intel dual core Atom 330 is available and will build a new backend with it.<br>Will keep you updated.<br><br>Regards,<br>Michael<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/8/22 Lindsay Mathieson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lindsay.mathieson@optusnet.com.au">lindsay.mathieson@optusnet.com.au</a>></span><br>

</div>Ah, thats the interesting bit - its uses special cards, which makes sense,<br>
they just do drivers for their known hardware.<br>
