Yes, non of the hybrid devices I have worked on have
support for analogue, only dvb. I think the place to look is on
video4linux mailing list. If you want to get support for your card on
the kernel (the dvb part) first would be nice to be sure it works, and
then just submit the patch to the linux-dvb mailing list. I think it
should be generated with some options and once it's generated you
should pass the perl script on v4l/scripts/checkpatch.pl to be sure it
follows the programming conventions... Just for curiosity, it worked
just as I send the code or you had to change some things? If you send
me back the files I can generate the patch for you, but again it should
be great to check it really works (you didn't get signal from any
spanish dvb?).

I'm happy to hear that. :) it's a shame that you
can't
try with some dvb signal, but looks good. I've never used kdetv, so no
idea.

This
is looking good. It seems to load the firmware well. I even ran
kaffeine and it detected my card instantly. However, as there's no
dvb-t service where I live (there's still no dvb-t in Portugal) I can't
test it in full. However I tried to do a channel scan and the signal
bar showed high strength signals multiple times during scan -- which I
interpret as a) the tuner is working, and b) the card is being able to
find signal but unable to decode it since it's not a digital signal.
I'm getting this output in dmesg just for plugging the device into the
usb port:

However I also tried kdetv and the card didn't seem to be recognized
here. In the device list there is still only my webcam to choose from.
If I try to run it from a terminal no significant output is shown. How
can go further in testing and getting the analog tv part to work?
So, in that case none of the devices you managed to get working so far
(and which seem to be hybrid as well) you didn't get the analog tv part
to work too? It's too bad you can't help me here since for me not
having analog tv (along with the FM tuner) means having a
non-functional device.. Anyway, can you direct me on where to look
further in order to pursue the analog part?
Also, I guess I'd like to contribute back what has been achieved so far
and hope to see native support in kernel in some future release. What
can I do to do that?
Thanks for all the support so far
Well I guess not. I'm not living too far from the border but I can't
get any analog spanish tv signal, so I suppose it's normal not to get
the dvb too. But I'm confident it's working. During the scan process
signal strength oscillated often which indicates the tuner is working.
The part I'm more doubtful about is the mpeg decoding which I can't be
sure it's working this way. But in the other hand I'm sure that if I
put a note on the wiki somewhere the next person experimenting with
this card will take a look and report the situation in the mailing
lists, don't you agree?
The mailing list to which I primarily wrote (if you remember) was the
video4linux mailing list, as analog support has been always the
priority for me. I noticed you send a message asking for assistance for
setting up analog in the devices you've been dealing with, and just
like you i have no idea on where to start from (I've looked at a topic
in wiki called "making your device being supported" and I came to the
wild conclusion that there most likely is another chipset handling the
analog part). But since two is more that one, perhaps will be able to
get somewhere.
