Hi Kernellabs,

I'm thinking of getting this:
http://forums.dvbowners.com/index.php?showtopic=11720
It seems very similar to the HVR-2200 yet has component-in. Do you reckon your module/s might support it?

Thank-you!

Highly likely the drivers will not support it. Each card has unique firmware identifiers that need to be added manually to the driver.

If you'd like to provide me a card then I'd consider adding support.

Happy to do this, so long as I can get it back eventually?

Assuming you want me to continue supporting that product then I generally keep hold of the hardware indefinitely, else 2-3 driver patches from now your card will no longer be regression tested and could stop working.

Actually I'd be happy to donate...
So long as I knew there'd be some progress on the analogue side. Already got the HVR-2200 for DVB.

By "analogue side" I mainly mean A/V-in
Thank-you/Good night

Judging by the silence I'm guessing that's a "negative" ;-)

I actually had a closer read of this...
http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1339

So even if I donated a card I guess that's not going to compensate you nearly enough to get analogue a/v-in at least partially working?!

So it seems I went for a "bells & whistles" card which will probably never be fully supported. I seem to recall having the same experience with a prior card, I wonder if I'll ever learn!

Are there any tuners with similar raw analogue capture/encoding abilities (ideally component) that you do support more completely or intend to?

Or should I be looking at dedicated video capture devices for better linux-media support?

Thank-you
