Hi all
I posted in another thread, but I am really interested in this as a solution to what I am trying to do that I thought I would post again.
The TBS 5280 box is great. I used it in a Proof of Concept with a Linux Ubuntu Laptop, it tunes well and changes well. I was really happy with what isn't the cheapest tuner on the market
However, like a lot of people I don't want a laptop to be running my backend recording machine. In fact given its h264 hardware decoding and encoding a Raspberry Pi seems ideal, and hence the big push to make them into media centres.
The problem here is that the compilation will fail for the modules because TBS ships some .o files for its drivers. Now, I know this is proprietary code, so if you don't want to release the source then fair enough (although what is the harm actually?). But please could you do a version for Raspberry Pi?(perhaps beta) I have a cross compiler ready to go, so I'll try it if you like.
Just think : a full hi-def, dual tuner system for $40 + the TBS5280. Perfect. And totally silent. Even my wife would have it in the living room...
Please consider this request. You know you want to.
