i've followed the advice of marcus in the past
and that is why for over a year i had a completely useless piece of hardware
in the end the "real" developers here sorted the problem out

this list is for people who run or want to run the drivers at linuxtv.org
so no, i don't think i was off-topic
he constantly spams the list here with his closed source commercial solution
just about my only job on this list is to counter his bull

with kind regards
