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?).
Hi,
just for your information Empia hybrid devices are fully supported
(FM, analog TV and DVB-T)
mcentral.de has more information about that

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.

Thank you so much for the suggestion Markus, I hadn't noticed those
cards were similar to mine yet. I'll be sure to explore that front
during the next days. In your opinion do you think my card shares
similar hardware with those which are already fully supported?
Best regards,
