Elgato EyeTV Diversity Support in dib0700

Hi everybody,

I few days ago I bought an Elgato EyeTV Diversity. After some googling, I found patches for it at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-September/028813.html. Applying the patches succeeded (I only hat to adjust the index into dib0700_usb_id_table) and after rebooting the card worked without problems. Even the remote control worked properly with the Xorg evdev driver after setting dvb_usb_dib0700_ir_proto to NEC.

So I wondered if there is a reason why the patches have not been merged, yet. I searched the hg drivers as well as the developer repositories at http://linuxtv.org/hg/ and the mailing list archives but found little to no references referring to the EyeTV Diversity.

I just wanted to mention it in case that the patches have been forgotten or something similar.

Best Regards,

Andreas Huesgen
