Neue Hardware wird es entweder diesen oder nächsten Monat geben.

Wir arbeiten zur Zeit am Treiber für PCI-Express 4-8x Tuner und schließen gerade den Treiber ab. Danach geht es auch mit den USB Tunern wieder weiter. Die nächsten Monate wird's auf jeden Fall mehrere neue Tuner geben.

Aktueller Stand PCI-Express:
- Diese Woche (10. Kalenderwoche) wird das HDL Design für den PCI-Express Tuner noch optimiert (Video + ersten Linuxtreiber haben wir bereits implementiert).
- Nächste Woche (11. Kalenderwoche) wird die erste PCI-Express Leiterplatte designed
- Produktion der ersten Leiterplatte (12. Kalenderwoche).
- Bestückung der ersten Leiterplatte (13. Kalenderwoche)

Cheers.

I think we can check that next week,

Good news, thanks!

we did not update the driver mainly because the USB stack performance on FreeBSD is not good, causing issues with the devices back then. Not sure if those issues are still there, but also we have different devices nowadays which might be able to handle those performance issues better than before.

I am not aware of any specific issue regarding FreeBSD USB stack. It has been re-written in 2009 for FreeBSD 8.0, maybe there were issues at that time ?

I will be able to test the new builds if needed, ideally on arm64 since I am setting up a rapberry pi 3 to receive sat channels.

Thanks for your support!

Hello,

A few years ago I purchased a SkyTV Ultimate 6 DVB-S stick because a native FreeBSD driver was provided. Unfortunately, it seems it has been discontinued since :/ Could you please provide updated builds for FreeBSD ?
