Just to be clear, some of the problems are not that the hardware doesn't support all four - it is the Linux driver support that is the issue. For example, the 801e hardware supports all four, but because of issues in the framework I wouldn't have been able to get the analog working without a ton of work (several weeks of development). Hmm.... I don't know much about the Avermedia products. However, if they are making source available and we aren't already integrating it then I should look into that... Could you send me a link including to where you are getting the source? > It looks like if this "Hybrid Volar Max" is a no go, the best options for > now might be: > 1. Hauppauge's 950Q Bear in mind the 950Q has no analog support currently in the Linux driver. But the ClearQAM support I am sure is better tested and known to work. > 2.

Certainly if people don't see ClearQAM working for this device then it's my fault and I should spend the cycles to figure out what is going on there. There's probably only a few hours of work required once I get the environment setup. > If I go ahead and keep the 801e, I will be glad to help you with some > testing (and if more time is available, perhaps some coding as well, > although I would have to learn the ropes first on these devices and device > programming in general.) I've got access to cable now so I should be able to get the ClearQAM working. I just never got around to testing it and nobody said they were having problems so I assumed it worked. Out of curiosity, what application are you using? Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
