PCI/e with dual DVB-T + AV-in?

PCI/e with dual DVB-T + AV-in?

[Jed]

Hi Ya'll,

Going on response levels thus far I'm not expecting much :-D but I was 
wondering if someone could possibly help me out here.

Is there anything with half-decent driver support that is PCI/e, and has 
dual DVB-T + A/V-in?*
As a bonus it would be dual Hybrid and have hardware encode, but I 
wouldn't expect either to work at this stage.

I'm still trawling through mail-lists & wiki's etc, so I may yet find 
the best solution, but I was hoping some might already know.
Any advice or even just a response to chastise me is greatly 
appreciated!  :-D

Cheers,
Jed
*Is HVR-2200 the only option?
  I wish there was something with better AV-in but it might end-up being 
my final choice.

Re: PCI/e with dual DVB-T + AV-in?

[Jed]

I've stopped looking for an alternative card, going to have a crack at 
getting my 7162-based device working.
Still, any suggestions in the meantime are most welcome! I've also 
decided AV-in isn't that important...
So just a known, nicely working PCI/e + dual DVB-T card, having the 
other features is nice but they needn't be working yet.

Wish me luck!   :-D

HVR2200 is in well supported not for digital-only.  It is a dual tuner
board using a PCI-E interface.  It has A/V capabilities that are not
*yet* supported in Linux.  Don't know when A/V will be supported, but
it will probably happen, eventually.

It is a dual hybrid, and it does do hardware encode.  (although not
yet in Linux)  This probably is the device for you.

To follow the development more closely, see the blog on kernellabs.com

I hope this helps.

Mike

Yikes -- typo (corrected above)

HVR2200 is in well supported *now* for digital-only

Thanks Michael for your efforts to make a suggestion!

I know about this one and so far it looks to be the best candidate 
in-terms of overall features + support.
Unless people on this list believe there's something that's 
_potentially_ better?

I've been searching for a PCI-e device with an MPEG-2 hardware encoder 
for analogue input for months, there's nothing on the market with linux 
support.

There are a few h.264 encoders, mainly aimed at CCTV applications, but 
they're no good for me.

Analogue encoding support on the HVR devices seems the only likely 
solution but it won't happen any time soon it seems.

If you find anything, please post details!

Thanks,

Lou

will do, no longer looking atm, seeing if i can get my existing quattroS

Hi saa7164 devs, once(if) the software support is in place for A/V-in...
Do you know if it'd be possible to bypass hw encode and dump 
uncompressed HD/SD with this card?
Or is it limited hardware-wise to even do this?

Cheers,
Jed

No idea, I have yet to look into this. All things considered I doubt it's worth 
spending time on raw analog when the goal for most people is to have the 
mpeg2/4/wmv hardware encoder working.

Huh, but Hauppaguge site says hvr-2200 only does mpeg2 encode?
My rationale was more flexibility by using software encode and free cpu 
cycles, I think it would be appealing to quite a few  ;-)

That's correct, the Windows driver does mpeg2 encode only. All of the other 
codecs are available by default.

Oh, I saw your posting to the list. It's in my inbox, along with many other 
emails I'd like to respond to over the next few weeks. Nothing personal, I'm 
just too busy right now to deal with your ongoing daily list of questions.

Please post all your questions to the ML and people will respond when they can, 
if they can.
