Sharing DVB tuner card from Windows to Linux?!

Hi All,

I finally made the jump to C-band and got an 8ft dish from Tek2000 8ft. For yeahs, I've done my KU stuff using EBSPro and TSReader. That software combo is great for blindscan... but seeing how C-band offers more fixed channels, I'd like to get these into my tvheadend server, which already handles my OTA channels.

I was wondering if it'd be possible to write a Windows application that would expose my TBS6925 card to Linux via vtuner. I'm thinking or hoping that using CrazyCat's StreamReaderEx library, I could expose whatever functionality that  vtuner requires. A nice little tray app that you could enable/disable at the click of a button... making it easy to go form EBSPro/TSReader blindscan fun to tvheaden channel surfing.

Form what I've seen though, it would appear that vtuner hasn't been touched in over 2 years (unless I'm looking at the wrong code repo). 

I might create a VM running Ubuntu 14.04 and install vtuner on it to see if I can get it to talk to a dummy app on Windows.

But before venturing too far down that path, I figured I'd check with the other coders on the forum for their thoughts.

Cheers,

V
