[directfb-users] Re: V4linux provider DirectFB Module

["suriya mohan" <suriyamohan23@rediffmail.com>]

Hi,
  I want to develop DirectFB based PVR (Personal Video Recorder). 
I just want to scan for TV channels and fix it using v4l API's. 
Then grab the video streams using DirectFB API's (video provider). 
Scanning the channels is the first step in any PVR and it is 
executed only once. Then in further execution of PVR only DirectFB 
API comes into picture.

Is my understanding is correct ?

With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.

There is no substitution for hard work.
Information is wealth.
