Hello everybody,

I own a brandless hdtv usb dvb-t stick.

lsusb identifies it as:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 15a4:9016 Afatech Technologies, Inc. AF9015 DVB-T USB2.0 stick

I'm using debian with kernel 2.6.32. This kernel doesn't have support for the nxp tda18218 tuner on the stick.
I compiled the latest v4l-dvb source tree from mercural. Now i get the following error message when i plugin the stick:
af9015: tuner NXP TDA18218 not supported yet

Searching the archives of this list i found some messages concerning nxp tda18218 support. It seems to me that there is support for the nxp tda18218 in the current source tree, but support for the new tuner driver is lacking from the af9015 driver.

Now is my question: are there any plans to support the nxp tda18218 tuner in the af9015 driver?

Regards, Joost Hoeks
