Fetching multiple MIS streams
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2016 4:03 pm
Hi there,
I have been testing a TBS6908 card for acquiring MIS streams and that has been doing well (thanks to instructions from http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=167&t=9707), as I have been able to receive various MIS streams from Eutelsat 5.0W and 12.5W, on Debian 8 with the open source drivers.
One question I have is: looking at for example the transponder http://en.kingofsat.net/tp.php?tp=6583, Eutelsat 5.0W 11637V carries 6 streams. As far as I can tell, the linux drivers & DVB API only let you select one stream at a time, so I would need 6 inputs to receive them all.
Is this a hardware or software limitation, would there be any possibility to extract all streams in parallel from a single input?
Thanks,
Eric
