without support for dvb-s2 api what kind of dvb-h264 tests where you 
able to make so far ?

if i go down that road i'll plan on getting dvb-s2 support thru 
multiproto api, dvb-s2 tunning seems to be the main problem so far and 
requires the end user application to be "modified", although example 
provided in multiproto wiki looks quite simple..

Good to know, i'll give it a try, thx.


And to answer Christoph remark about FTA HD, i guess that you won't be 
able to expect much on Sat, as usual, but here in France we should be 
getting a "bunch" of FTA h264 HD channels over dvb-t, hopefully this 
summer..

As for the sat channels, well you can always try to use subscription 
cards with your dvb hardware right ?

I haven't read anything about kaffeine and dvb-t yet but i was under the 
impression that current dvb-t mpeg2/4 channels
are working in kaffeine, right ?


I think i'll try to get my dvb-s2 hardware back together in a new box 
with that overclocked intel cpu and see what happens in a 64bit ffmpeg 
context.
It'll probably take a couple of weeks to get something "working" but 
well maybe i'll be able to do some patching for kaffeine dvb-s2 support 
then..

thx for your comments,

Marc
