Maybe so - I haven't really checked yet. I'm still learning about this stuff.... > "Assuming a decent tuner lock", your basic assumption is true > but the subject runs much deeper than that. Always, but at last my basic understanding appears to be correct. Can a V4L device provide MPEG streams like a DVB device? How does it provide EPG type info? > Which product are you planning to work on? Which components? > Perhaps someone is already working on it, or we already have > drivers for parts of it. It's unbranded but carries a product code of "VS-DVBT 355U" Upon plugging the device, lsusb reports the device as "Bus 1 Device 6: ID eb1a:e357 eMPIA Technology, Inc." I've recently discovered that it contains a eMPIA 2870 device. As for any others I'll discover tonight when I get home from work and open it up ...
