Hi Graham, I have a decoder on my RPi3 / OSMC machine.
It's file name is "dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw" is this the correct one? Looking at the RPi web site, they only offer the MPEG2 and VC-1 keys so I guess it is. They only cost £2.40 and £1.20 !!! At that price we can't lose!
Thinking about it, I guess that will greatly help the compute power issue, but will still leave a network issue on the RPiZero.
Thinking more as I type, my RPi3 that has OSMC on it already has the key, so maybe I'll build a new SD card for it with Raspian / Stretch and put the decoder license on the new card - since the license is tied to the hardware, it should work.... But hey for £2.40, who cares!
Maybe I'll get a license for the RPiZero as an experiment on the basis it is worth a try.
Hmmm, it's probably worth sticking to RPi3 as that gives me the option to use a wired LAN....
This is starting to feel like a benchmarking exercise!
