DVB-S radio - any interest?

[bgowland]

I've recently done quite a bit of work (some still in progress) to make the DVB-T Radio 'engine' generic DVB rather than DVB-T specific.

In theory I'm getting to a point where I can also support DVB-S radio although this is very much unknown territory for me as I don't have a setup I can test it on myself.

For DVB-S only users, I'd hope support could be fairly simple although in a system with both DVB-T and DVB-S cards, it's likely to be a different can of worms (range of channels available, selecting right source for specific channel etc) and will need more work.

Any interest?...Willing guinea pigs?...

Cheers,
Brian

I should be updating my rig sometime in the new year and would totally be willing to be a tester. I likely won't have time or the permission (WAF) until sometime around late Jan.

Sounds like a really good plugin !!

I would be willing to test the plugin if that was helpful.

I have been waiting patiently for you to get to this stage :p

So yes I would be willing to test as well.

OK - thanks all. I've made a start on supporting the DVB-S tuning format which, in theory, is the main difference.

It's my birthday today combined with my wife's college graduation ceremony so I suspect my brain won't be fit for coding again until tomorrow.

I'll try to get some basic test code together in the next week.

Happy Birthday Chap!

I'd like a bit of DVB-S radio action to go with my already working DVB-T.
Will it be a combined pluging i.e. DVB-* radio or seperate T and S versions?

Thanks guys - slightly muzzy headed but back in the game.

Hmmm - I think I'd have to change my pace from a gentle trot to a sprint to manage that.

The idea is to combine both - looks like I'll have to 'rebrand' the plugin as just, urrrm, 'DVB Radio' if I can get it working.

Count me in right now!!!

I listen to much radio content via Galaxy 25. WRN is available to me here as is Access America (AMSAT weekly net on Wednesdays, TWiAR Saturdays and a very good FTA discussion show on Monday's).

There are also some Muzac channels that make for a good feed into our company phone system.

Let me know!!
