KWorld Plus TV 380UR DVB-T USB

["Lee Rowlands" <leerowlands@rowlands-bcs.com>]

Hi All
I'm trying to determine if the KWorld Plus TV 380UR DVB-T USB is supported.
I've done a comprehensive search of the net and the mailing lists and tried
about everything.
I can get the v4l drivers to register the device at /dev/video1 and
/dev/vbi0 but can't get the dvb at /dev/dvb etc

I'm using FC8 with kernel as follows:
#uname - a
#Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26.8-57.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Dec 18 19:19:45 EST
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Here's what I've done to date:

*When I first plugged in the device I got the following from dmesg
usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=eb1a, idProduct=e359
usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-1: Product: USB 2870 Device

*lsusb gave
Bus 001 Device 005: ID eb1a:e359 eMPIA Technology, Inc.

*Googling this vendor and product id got me on to the v4l-dvb wiki

*Downloaded, compiled and installed v4l-dvb

*Determined that this is a em28xx device

*On reboot was able to load the drivers using modprobe

*Plugging in device gave same dmesg output (nothing new)

*After finding an obscure Estonian reference to changing
v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c to include reference
to eb1a:e359 as a KWORLD_355U, made the required change to em28xx-cards.c
then did a make rminstall, make distclean and recompiled the drivers.

*After reboot and then reinserting the device got the following dmesg output

usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
em28xx: New device USB 2870 Device @ 480 Mbps (eb1a:e359, interface 0, class

em28xx #0:

em28xx #0: The support for this board weren't valid yet.
em28xx #0: Please send a report of having this working
em28xx #0: not to V4L mailing list (and/or to other addresses)

tuner 0-0062: chip found @ 0xc4 (em28xx #0)
tuner 0-0062: tuner type not set
em28xx #0: v4l2 driver version 0.1.2
em28xx #0: V4L2 device registered as /dev/video1 and /dev/vbi0

*This results in the device nodes /dev/video1 and /dev/vbi0 being created
but stops short of giving me /dev/dvb/adapter etc

Any advice or help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
I can provide Windows drivers from the install disk if required.
Thanks in advance
