HD channels with DVB-S card ??
#1
Hi

I've read that some DVB-S cards may be able to stream HD channels, but I can't find any decent howto ..
Any idea ?

I have a Hauppauge wintv nova S plus and a fast dual core. Do you think I may have a chance to get HD channels ?

Thanks

try it, i got mine working in xbmc with a

TechnoTrend S 2 3650 CI USB Box mit DVB-S Empfang (HDTV)

and mythbackend 0.23 or TVheadend 2.11

Quote:mythbackend 0.23, XBMC frontend trunk r31463:
+recordings come automatically
+stable
+easier to setup at the frontend, due to integrated recordings
+epg
+watch recording live transcoded to flashvideo on the webinterface
+webinterface with tons of features for everything
+-a lot of documentiation available, but needed and chaotic organised
-long zap time
-sometimes buffering between two programms (very strange by the way)
-comlicated setup the first time

TVheadend 2.11, XBMC frontend trunk r31463:
+very easy setup, when DVB card is recognized by your linux
+stable
+fast channel switching
+smooth using
+got channelogos working
-no timeshift
-no epg
-you need to add recodings manually in the frontend via video/source ...
-less documentation, but you don´t need realy a docu about the basics
