Hi! 2006/10/5, Christoph Höger <choeger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Is there any kind of pre-release of this driver? Do I need kernel patches? Anyway to test it now?
I haven't found any in the different branches of the version control system. Anyone had more luck? But I found a thread about a similar device with DibCom 7700: http://pvrweb.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.php?t=43313 AVerMedia provides a driver on http://www.avermedia.com/cgi-bin/support_driverbympdpro.asp?category=TV%20USB%20Box&category2=Digital&proname=150# But the source only contains object files for the DibCom 7700 part (similar to NVidia and ATI with their graphics drivers).
Btw: This is what Hama responded to my 'Why the f*** don't you support Linux and what hellish kind of chip is on this device?'(;))-Email: "The chip is kind of buiseness-secret and we don't support Linux for technical reasons not to make our customers angry."
I got a more polite response from Hama and they confirmed me that the stick uses the DibCom 7700B chip. Hopefully this information can help somehow.
