[dvblast-devel] Information request for presentations

[Thomas Kernen]

Hi Andy,

So for Freewire.tv preso, you can say hi to Simon (Lockhart) for me :-)

As for usage, officially in my case with the email address I post from I 
use it for personal/home use only. 1 server, 1 DVB-T + 4 DVB-S/S2 cards 
+ CAMs (still have issues with the CAM stuff with dvblast, not got 
around to solving it).

At work (Cisco) I do run it at work in one of my labs along with all the 
kit we manufacture for testing. So no large deployments, purely to 
compare how various video monitoring tools do detect the streams (MDI, 
ETR 290, etc...). So this is me being proactive wrt people that may 
deploy it across networks built on our kit.

Cheers,
Thomas
