Will there be DVB-S support in 0.6+?
Hi!
I only installed 0.5.17 from Ubuntu hardy heron a few days ago. It worked great, but I noticed there was a new version in a launchpad apt repository, so I updated to 0.5.30 which works great too. So my problem is not really urgent, I can watch TV just fine!
While browsing through launchpad I stumbled upon the announcement for me-tv 0.6 and - in horror - noticed that DVB-S support was removed from the rewrite. Now I'm afraid that support for 0.5 will end some time in the future and no newer version that "knows" DVB-S is available.
So I'm wondering: Is there a specific reason why DVB-S had to go? Is it impossible to implement it because of new libraries or design decisions? Or is it simply because only very few users needed it? Are there not enough testers? Is there any chance of it appearing in future releases?
I really appreciate your work. me-tv is very easy to set up and works like a charm! The only slight problem I see with it right now is that EPG is only updated for the current transponder (?) instead of all channels, but that's in the blueprints already (and maybe even in 0.6, who knows?). And I'm used to not using EPG, since we switched to DVB only a month ago. So it's really cool for me! ;)
