My subscription requests to linux-media have yielded nothing. Anything broken with the approval process? There's no approval process. Just submit the "subscribe linux-media" message to the mailman email interface. It will send you a reply to confirm your email address. After your reply-back, you'll be subscribed. > 2. I agree with another poster: I only care about broadcast and cable video, both analog and digital. I eventually hope to help get my "AnyTV AUTV002 USB ATSC/QAM Tuner Stick" supported by V4L, and then use it in a MythTV system. I'd prefer a list that focuses on such devices and systems, if possible. Which seems to match the mission of linux-dvb! linux-dvb were used for DVB only. No analog tuner, Composite or S-video entries were meant to be discussed there. Another ML were used for those discussions. So, on the case of your device, before linux-media, people needed to do cross-posting. However, on several cases, only one of the lists were used by the thread authors. So, if you were interested on such boards, you would need to subscribe both lists, otherwise, you would loose some discussions that could be interesting for you. Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
