Hi Mauro, >From what I have gather so far, it seem that you are the only person who might still be keen in the continue development of TM6000 driver. Apparently, I saw that you are also pretty much occupied with other works at hand. I have recently bought a USB stick(MSI Vox II) that have the TM5600/XC2028 chipset. Using the latest source from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb and activating the TM6000 under staging, I was able to detect the tuner stick. Firmware was extracted using the tridvid.sys from the windows driver CD. Unfortunately, this is the furthest that I can go. Both tvtime and mplayer were able to load but the notebook just freeze some time. Do you have any pointer on how I can get it to work? Playing tv://. TV file format detected.

Unfortunately, while I am verse in programming(userspace only), C and Assembly is only something I am familiar with many years back during school days. So its going to take a while for me to catch up. I guess working on the driver on my own might be the only possibility if you cannot afford the time to work on it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
