Streaming HDTV from DVB-S2 USB tuner?

[marcelru]

Sounds like a good option, however, eligibility (for me) depends on the size of the device.
The tuner I work with now (TBS5980) is very small and can be tucked away nicely behind my TV. A big device won't fit.
Downside is a LOT of hassle to get the equipment going. As you may have noticed, I'm not in a hurry. I work on this particular project on and off.

Got the hardware working (more or less), now the streaming code is subject of my efforts. Things are going slowly, but surely

Thanks for your interest,
