Re: Support for Pinnacle PCTV mini stick (USB TV Tuner) 80e

["Tharsan Bhuvanendran" <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Devin,

Thanks for the quick response!

I've pried open the device and snapped a few shots with my Nikon D40.  You can get them at http://drop.io/tharsan.

I also created a Wiki page for the device at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_mini_Stick_(80e).
I've documented what I could determine on the Wiki page.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need and I'll do my very best to get you what you need!

I just finished support for the Pro and Non-Pro versions a couple of
weeks ago, but judging by the different form factor, I would suspect
this is a different hardware design.

The most useful thing you could do would be to pop the device open and
take digital photos of the PCBs, and create a page on the LInuxTV DVB
Wiki for the device.

Once we know what components it contains, that will give us some idea
how much work will be required.

Regards,

Devin
