If there are drivers for those, supporting the device will be relatively easy. If there are no drivers, they will have to be written by either getting the specs and writing or reverse engineering and writing. That is much more work. If the chips are not supported already, no specs are given and nobody feels like reverse engineering, it will never be supported. If the chips are supported already, it can be supported in a day (at least very fast). All depends on what is there to see inside the device, it's impossible to say anything now. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
