Either start a new thread or quote below the original email. AverTV Hybrid Volar HX, shows up on google images as either a USB product or a PCI express product. If this board has silicon that linuxtv.org has drivers for, then yes we can probably make it work. Check the wiki. If it does not have pictures then please take some and try to identify which parts the product uses. Once you have an accurate wiki pages we can try adding support after that.
