Another cracking gadget..

Post by onion2k »

I've just set up my latest groovy gadget ... a Pinnacle PCTV USB DVB-T tuner ... so now I get about 50 channels of digital TV on my laptop wherever I go! Although not really because you need good reception to get any so I'm really tethered to my house's aerial. It's still really good though because I can watch the BBC News Channel when I'm working now.

Next question though .. can I script a PHP interface to it so I can grab telly pics and put them on my website (a brief glance through the docs appears to show that I can't :( ).

Yeh, I've recently bought a twin tuner DVB stick which works perfectly on ubuntu :D Amazing how simple it is. :)

I rolled my own scheduler in TCL for recordings and such. There's some good resources over at linuxTV that may help you in your quest. :) Although, not much if you're using windows (shame on you if you are :twisted: )
