Elgato eyetb usb tv tuner

Hi John,
dmesg does not show anything useful. That's because the device is not supported yet.
lsusb only shows there is a device with ID 0df9:0018
Quoted 1 line
From what i found on the internet, the device's specs are:
Model: EU 2008
USB Controller: Empia EM2884
Stereo A/V Decoder: Micronas AVF 49x08
Hybrid Channel Decoder: Micronas DRX-K DRX3926K:A1 0.9.0
I spoke to a few people on the IRC linuxtv channel @freenode and it appears to be a 2884/drxk/avfb combo.
Micronas has allowed a GPL driver to be released. But nobody has been willing to do the work to get it upstream.
It still needs a couple dozen hours worth of work to get up and running, and deal with all the codingstyle issues, etc.
I hope that someone is willing to do this somewhere in the nearby future.
It's a great device; it can do dvb-c and dvb-t but also has an analogue tuner for tv and radio, and it can capture video/audio from composite/s-video connected devices as well.
I'd love to see this device working in Linux in the future.
Regards,
Eddie.

Dear Eddie,
Have you tried running dmesg in a terminal it will
give you a list of what hardware is running in the kernel and if it has a driver and or firmware.
See my output sample.
7.646537] ivtv: Start initialization, version 1.4.2[ 7.646634] ivtv0: Initializing card 0 [ 7.646636] ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) [ 7.646693] ivtv 0000:01:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 [ 7.647485] ivtv i2c driver #0: Test OK [ 7.702997] tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 25019, rev C589, serial# 10495999 [ 7.702999] tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is TCL MFPE05 2 (idx 89, type 38) [ 7.703014] tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards PAL(B/G) PAL(I) SECAM(L/L')

PAL(D/D1/K) (eeprom
This is a Hauppauge card
Notice that the output tells you the driver details (ivtv i2c driver #0 Test OK)Another command is lsusb will show usb devices connected Check if your tuner needs firmware and that its in the right place ie /libs/firmware
