Fellow dvb'ers,

My friend bought a AVerTV Hybrid Volar HX A827 for is linux pc and hoped it would work. After he spent a day to get it working he asked my help.

I tried a hole list of things, and went through the code. I tried to get it working with the a800 driver and added some device ID's but i cant make it to work. There is no firmware or datasheets for the device.

Can the device be added to the list of not working devices? Will somebody else be able to make a good driver for the device?

I added a lot of good info in the attachment.

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong

Manu Abraham is already working on Afatech chip support But it's probably hard task as it takes quite some time... :( (Find out my post from December)
