It looks like basics of a patch was developed to support the card but it was incompatible with the existing cards and nobody took the time to understand how to differentiate between the older 800i and the newer 800i. So, the problem fell on the floor. I'll look through my card library. If I have an old _AND_ new rev then I'll find an hour and see if I can find an acceptable solution. Summary: PCTV released a new 800i (quite a while ago) changing the demodulator, which is why the existing driver doesn't work. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com -- 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
