My hdhomerun is presently my only tuner and does not seem to like
mhegepgsnoop.py, even with the dvbhdhomerun driver installed
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/dvbhdhomerun/)

I have another dvb-t device that I would like to try but the antenna
is nowhere near a computer and I'd need to pull a wire to get it near
the backend, or find a small box to run it in.

Does anyone know if usb dvb cards run on arm kernels? (broad question
I know). I have a plug computer doing nothing.
