Hi,
Very unlucky, i bought a pinnacle hybrid pro and couldn't get it to work
with linux, then i gave it up, and i found that HVR-900 card works well
under linux, i got one, but i didn't know that the company is referring now
for 900 same as 900H.
900H doesn't work under Linux, is there is way to get this card working?
googling i didn't find much information, all i found is work under way to
get this card supported (2008).
Please help,
Mauro was working on this driver some time ago... There is a current
thread about the tm6010 on the mailing list now, but I have not read
up on it. Last I heard, progress on the driver has been minimal.
I saw the thread, but no news since quite some time, and trust me,
searching on the internet it seems a lot of people are getting the 900H
instead of the 900, it is the hauppage fault here.
Almost all other Hauppauge products have relatively decent linux
support -- you were unlucky and picked the one usb stick that will
probably not be fully functional for a while.
That's why i got hauppauge card, but well it was the 900H one.
If you're interested in helping the driver development, then take a
look at the related mailing list posts. Otherwise, you might be
better off choosing a different product.
On the other hand, I think there's been some recent progress on the
PCTV hybrid pro -- Devin Heitmueller has been doing a lot of work on
those products lately. For more information, see
http://kernellabs.com
That's a good new, i can still get that card, probably i can help
testing the driver.
Are you specifically looking for a hybrid analog / digital usb stick?
...or is digital-only good enough for your purposes?
Yeah, i need to get an analog USB stick to work under Linux, because i
replaced my desktop with a small imax mini (which i got the windows
refund for it) but it is a very small PC that doesn't have PCI card.
So basically if i can get the analog part of the PCTV hybrid pro or the
Win TV hvr900h to work under Linux that will be awesome.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Ali.
