DVB-S2 ? T ? C ?

 

best me best are wich have support include kernel like http://shop.digital-devices.de/Cine-S2-V6/en ;)

or wich have support almost online - every new kernel - like TBS http://www.tbsdtv.com

 

Hi,

 

does unraid 5rc11 have proper kernel support also for the DIgital Devices Cable Version of the card?

http://shop.digital-devices.de/epages/62357162.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62357162/Products/091203

 

A friend bought that and put it in an OpenElec box, but had to patch the kernel. Sine I can't do that on unraid I'd like to make sure the tuner card I order is properly supported by the unraid kernel.

 

 

Just to make the list of canidates complete, a copy of my posting from the Hardware forum:

 

I am going to buy TV tuner cards to have 2 DVB-C tuners. The CI-Card slot is not necessary onboard, I will have an external USB solution for that anyway.

 

If you have experience with any of the following boards it would be great if you would share it (sorry the links are for Amazon Germany):

What is available in the US as far as TV signals/satellite products?  NOt Directv, DIsh or local cable.  What card should be used if selected one the these alternative feeds?

 

unRAID has absolutely no drivers for tv cards or tuners.

You would have to compile your own kernel to build in the driver support you needed.

 

I don't remember reading of any other unRAID user doing that for a TV tuner card... although others have compiled kernels for various other drivers and instructions for doing so are in the wiki here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel

Good luck.

seanant,

 

Theres a lot of different pre-compiled images at this forum:

 

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20782.0

 

There was also a post a while ago asking Tom to include kernel Media tree options as it does add a significant amount of extra functionality with not a huge difference in image filesize, but I dont think there was ever a reply :). The TVHeadend Plugin thread is very informative, and there is always people willing to re-compile the kernel if you request a certain driver :)
