ivtv && Radio Data System (RDS) - is there something planned/already available

ivtv && Radio Data System (RDS) - is there something planned/already available

[wk]

Is there anything planned/ongoing to support Radio Data System (RDS) 
with ivtv supported cards?
Would be quite helpful for analogue radio channel scanning and finding 
the matching channel names.
Is there something out to be tested?

thanks,
Winfried

As far as I know there are no ivtv-based cards with RDS functionality. If 
you have one that can do RDS under Windows, then please let me know and I 
can take a look.

  A workaround can be to use a 10$ USB radio with RDS support and use
it as a secondary (silent) tuner for doing the scanning operations in
the background, so that you can have a fully up to date radio stations
list all the time without impacting the listening of your main radio
tuner - works very well!

Ok, if the hardware doesnt support it, further questions are meaningless..

Well, the idea was to integrate this into a channel scanning tool. So 
this wouldnt be an option.
