    DVB-T

    I think my wl500gx could be a PVR attaching a DVB-T USB device with buint-in ENcoder for MPEG2 like the Hauppauge WinTv Nova-T USB2.

    It seems the dibusb and linuxtv modules are necessary. Has anybody tried this with success (with this usb device or another). I'm using Oleg's firmware.

    I'm looking for a solution like this one but for DVB-T:

    Thanks.

    I'm also interested in this idea - currently tossing up between getting a NSLU2 and trying to get a USB DVB-T device that I know works with linux (like the Leadtek Winfast DTV gold (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...fm/997883.html)) and a rt-11n or rt-15n or other 802.11n router to provide 802.11n or getting the wl-500n and hoping I can get it to work with that.

    Currently leaning towards the former, partly because the NSLU2 will run a full version of debian and people have gotten analog TV tuners to work with it (kinda, that guys implementation still looked pretty hacky, but then again I don't know how well that tuner he had works with linux period) and maybe digital TV tuners too (while that guy seemed to be doing pretty well, he never wrote back to let the thread know if it all worked or not...maybe he was too busy watching TV i guess ) and partly because I don't like the way asus doesn't post much in the way of tech specs on those two asus routers (rt-11n/15n), or make their pdf manuals available so I can read through and try to work out the difference between the two, OR reply to emails asking them for more details.

    The only reason I'm still considering an asus router at all if I go the NSLU2 route is that they provide the only 802.11n device listed to work under linux on http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_alles.php , and I hear that I have a much better chance of > 802.11g speeds if I don't mix vendors with my 802.11n equipment.</rant>

    Anyhow yeah it would be cool to know if our idea would work, especially since it would work out cheaper for me than the NSLU2 route and would save me having an extra box cluttering up the place
