The TS capture is working very good for the EMPRESS board. This board is actually a very experimental PCI board with a SAA7134 and an the SAA6752 MPEG-2 encoder: http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/saa6752hs/v101 The encoder is currently initialised via the userspace I2C device and then it continously streams an MPEG-2 TS to the SAA7134. The resulting MPEG-2 Transport Stream data can be read from the 2nd video device of the SAA7134 driver: e.g. "cat /dev/video1 | mpeg2dec -t 100" The TS capture code could also easily be used for other boards, e.g. boards with a combined analog/digital TV tuner. It might need to initialise the DVB demodulation ICs. And perhaps the TS interface needs to be initialised in a different way.
