DATV Express ODROID and USBPVR and USBPVR2

Post by N6GKJ » Mon Oct 12, 2015 7:07 pm

Hello Guys!!

What an exciting time in HAM RADIO!!

I am about to embark on the ODROID Project. I have my HP Laptop, Hauppage USBPVR 24XXX series and DATV Express board working perfectly.

My question is this: Are the PVR USB and PVR USB2 drivers included to support these devices or are we locked into the PVR1900 when using the ODROID

The PVR USB and PVR USB2 devices can be found from $10 to $20 on Ebay still... I just bought another one for $15 free shipping

Right now I am collecting all I can get my hands on of the PVR150, 250, 350 and 500 plus the PVR USB and PVR USB2. Cannot find the PVR1900 anywhere

If you are talking about an old 29032 WinTV PVR USB2 then yes it is probably supported.

Yes Charles, the old 29032 and the 24012 devices.

Did you see my other post about DATV Express and PTT?

Yes I did Ron, the quick answer is no that is not supported.

I think that if you wanted to use Express as part of a repeater you would probably
need to write bespoke software with a watchdog timer to make it reliable enough.

At the moment we have no plans to do that, there are just enough hours in the day I am afraid.
