I'd like to try this again, as my last working tuner died this week. I've had this card sitting around for over a year hoping for support, but it doesn't look like anyone else is working on it.
What kind of information is needed to make the card work? Will I need to find firmware somewhere? It looks like the basics are there with Manu's work on the SAA716x and Jared and Michael's work on the LGDT3304, but how do I customize these to work with the A188?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
