Dear Mauro,
I wrote the original lgs8gl5 driver by reverse-engineering my USB TV
stick using UsbSnoop.
I've been working together with David to make sure his lgs8gxx driver
works with my TV stick, so yes, the generic driver actually works. :)
Regards,
Timothy Lee

This patch contains the unified driver for Legend Silicon LGS8913 and

David,
The questions you posed tonight on a separate thread about making the
xc5000 work with this device prompts the question:
Do you know that this driver you submitted actually works? Have you
successfully achieved lock with this driver and been able to view the
stream?
It is great to see the improvements and more generic support, but if
you don't have it working in at least one device, then it probably
shouldn't be submitted upstream yet, and it definitely should not be
replacing an existing driver.
We need to do some tests before replacing the existing one. Yet, it is better
to have a generic device than specific ones. Do you have any card with lg8gl5?
If so, could you please test the new driver for us?
Anyway, I'm applying what we currently have.
Cheers,
Mauro
