single or dual DVB-C with solid linux support.

**jalyst** · 09-10-09, 10:08 PM

I've seen a few people mention....
SATELCO EasyWatch and the Technotrend C-1501.

Are these pretty much the only option when it comes to solid Linux support?

Does DVB-C even work properly?

I thought Foxtel kept their encoding mechanism a secret.
Hence one could not get a cam + decoder card + dvb-c tuner to work!

still reading this....

Cheers,

I'm in the same boat as you... I'm using the following link to narrow down my search...

Have you made any progress??

Nah focussing more on DVB-T and A/V capture (s-vid/component).
DVB-C was always a secondary thing....

Thanks, more interested from a Linux perspective.
It seems some users have had good success here:
