I tried to compile the dvbtune utility with CDK, and it successfully compiled, just I can't use the binary on my dreambox. (error message, it can't open demux device).
Is is works for anyone? Or is there another way to receive DVB/IP datastreams from satelites with dreambox?
Please, help
thx

you are right, somebody also mentioned before that dreambox uses the older API (which one?) than HEAD.
But a strange thing. AS i remember from i386 PC and TT cards i use the old api used the /dev/ost/* devices. The HEAD uses /dev/dvb/cardx/* devices. In my dreambox in /dev/ost there are only 1 file: demux0 and that file is a link to /dev/dvb/card0/demux0. I make other links for frontend0, dvr0 and so on, which is needed for my dvbtune (compiled for OLDSTRUCT ost devices). The dvbtune works now, it tune the card to a freq, but won't open a network device. Everything looks good, no error messages, but network device won't opened by kernel. Seems to me the actual driver don't support the dvb_net functions from DVB_API. Don't know where can i get information about dreambox driver features, and what supports from DVB API?
Anyway, I can't imagine that nobody want to receive DVB/IP data streams with dreambox, and no way to do this job with DB.

I thing you'll better ask dreambox specific question on the dreambox support board:
http://tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net/forum ... hp?t=18266
You will get better help there...
just follow the links in the FAQ post.
