Devin, thank you for your reply, please see below; > I did the work for the au0828 bridge, which is used in the US based > HVR-950q tuner. I've also done alot of work on the em28xx bridge.

Well we can always return such devices, and send a "thank-you-not!" email to the vendor in question. Maybe if they knew why are people returning there products, they'll stop doing it and label there products correctly depending on hardware built-in... So a list of known working devices would still be of great help.... > http://devinjh.livejournal.com/174527.html Please see my response, and my donation. Also see: http://www.smolts.org/static/stats/by_class_CAPTURE.html We know there are few million Linux boxes out there, but even for 100.000, 0.4% means There are 400 Bt878 devices out there on Linux... plus, look at the second, and fifth lines :-) I would doubt any vendor would ignore sale of few thousand of there devices, especially the maker of the chip used in all of them. Just for example. And Smolts is a) a very new thing, b) disabled by default so user must explicitly enable collection of data from his/hers PC, c) still not included in all major distros. So regardless of absolute numbers, take a look at percentages - they are the key for getting both vendor and user support.
