Hi,
I am in a straggle to build a PVR.
The Open issues I have:
Hardware: Shuttle with VIA MK400 and a Genius TV card ( SAA7134).
Open Issues
TV Out: I have a working Xfree 4.4 with Unichrome support and Kernel 2.6.7
with all the Unichrome patches, it has a working XV support and even some
glx support. But the TV out keep showing up out of sync.
TV Card: Since there are no other solutions in Israel, this is a poor default
( it has support in 2.6 even for the remote, the remote is pretty poor).
DVB-C card might be great, but.... the CAM for NDS does not available
( people are waiting for it for years, "Trusted Computing" is already here
made by NDS).
CAM: Conditional Access Module looks like a PCMCIA card that accept your smart
card on one end and connects to the Digital tuner card/box to do it's
decryption. Smart CAM are associate with Hacking the encryptions and creating
faked smart cards, this also concerns smart card programmers...
Remote Receiver: This is much more simple, I bought the staff to built it
myself, if it will work I will post more.
The default will be to use a Shuttle remote, it looks like a USB keyboard to
Linux. I also have the working remote from the TV card.
Remote Transmiter: To control the Cable box, I did not built it yet.
Myth info: I remamber some one posting about downloading it from some site.
Any one willing to share success stories, pointers?
Gal
