    at least for the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standard.

    Linux DVB API

    By the way: this is the API the Nokia Mediaterminal uses. They are going to opensource their software on the OST website.

  3. Re:Nokia-Intel-Linux box? on Alliance for Linux Set Top Boxes · · Score: 2
    Well, not exactly. The Linux DVB API can be found at linuxtv.org.

    Convergence, the company behind linuxtv.org, was finally not taken over by Lineo but is still looking for investors.

    Convergence is a founding member of the TV Linux Alliance and will continue to fight for Open Source software in our future TV sets because we don't want big brother in our living rooms.

    greetings
