I've just seen that AVerMedia put the same info for A800 and A808 (whereas there are completly different). <http://www.avermedia.com/docs/pdffiles/A800-README.txt> On the product webpage <http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/products_digitvtuner_dvbtvolar.asp?show=1>, there is also "**Linux programming kit can be download directly form the product page of AVerMedia website.". I didn't found anything about that and don't know if it would help developpers. I've also e-mail the customer support of AverMedia and I put the answer bellow : > A l'heure actuelle, jee ne peux pas malheureusement pas vous fournir > d'autres versions de linux pour ce produit à part celles qui existent > et téléchargeables sur notre site. > > Je vous tiendrai au courant dès qu'une nouvelle version serait > disponible. > > voici le lien: > http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/support_driverbympdpro.asp?category=TV%20USB%20Box&category2=Digital&proname=150 I can tranlsate it by : > There isn't other drivers for this product that those on the support page. > > I'll tell you when a new release will be done. So this answer is a little bit more interesting that manufacturer that say "there is no driver for linux", but we don't know much about planned release. I would also have more information about this : > On Sat, 24 Jun 2006, Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo wrote: > > > El sáb, 24-06-2006 a las 01:40 +0200, Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo escribió: > > [...] > > > + DibCom 7700B chip (though I only can find in their website a 7700P > > > one) > > > + MT2060F chip > > > + EPCOS X7350P chip > > > > > > So I think that this device (A808) has nothing to do with former A800 > > > device from AverMedia.

(I didn't found anything on the internet). Futhermore website <http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/ <http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/%7Epboettch/>> isn't up anymore :( I also found this : <http://pvrweb.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=42126> According to this we should wait about dibcom release. I haven't undestand if DIBcom would make an open or closed source driver. Hope to hear changes about linux support for DIB7700.
