DVB-T in Vienna (streaming via LAN under Linux using an USB-DVB-T stick)

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

The official start of the DVB-T simulcast phase in Austria will start in October 2006, but the Kahlenberg station has started test transmisions in July (channel 61, 794 MHz). Now also the Himmelhof Station is on air (same frequency, simulcast with the Kahlenberg station). In lower Austria the Jauerling has begun to transmit DVB-T on channel 68.

A good time to add a DVB-T stick to my server so that I can cache the programming. For now there is only a single channel active, therefore a single USB-stick is sufficient to catch all programs (ORF1, ORF2 (partly split into regional version for Vienna (W) and Lower Austria (NÖ) and ATV).
