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

Hi,

Seems like you are on a hot trail here ... Great !
What can I do to test your hypothesis on the EM2881_BOARD_DNT_DA2_HYBRID ?
May be I can verify if analog works ?
How are my chances in getting DVB supported ?

TIA for your time and effort in helping out.

Best Regards,
Johan
