Re: em28xx based USB Hybrid (Analog & DVB-T) TV Tuner not supported

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I think your stick has more in common with
EM2881_BOARD_DNT_DA2_HYBRID, dvb support hasn't been enabled for that
tuner yet tho, only analog..

If you look at pdf for the  utvhyl3 (seems like they removed the
utvhyl2) http://idream.com.hk/consulter.php?pid=120&tab=6
And compares it with the DNT DA2 ,
http://www.dnt.de/neu/data/download/files/110/Prospekt%20-%20DA2%20Hybrid.pdf
 (only avalible in german tho)
They even seem to have the same remote (doesn't mean they are identical tho.)
