G'day all

I've bought myself the "HPC2000 hybrid tv pci card" for one reason because x3m 
said it supports linux.. well, it never worked for me (now I'm at Suse 11.1 
64bit and I used to use the prior Suse versions) and now I stumbled across 
your wiki and saw my card under the "Currently Unsupported DVB-T PCI cards"..  
way to go :-/ So now I subscribed to the list to help get this card working! 
How can I help?
(but please be easy on me - it's the first time I try help "officials" ;-))

I'm not very close to that card currently, but from the wiki it seems
your best chance is to try with recent mercurial v4l-dvb cx88xx card=63.

Devin had some important regression fixes about three weeks back.

The wiki link to the x3m linux driver doesn't work currently, so I had
only a look at the Geniatech stuff.

There seem to be already several revisions of that card and clones.
The X3M with version 1.11.

And LifeView with a revision 1.00 calling it "not only TV".

Here we seem to see it with a sticker "LV3H" over the revision printing.
That one has the same PCI subsystem like the Geniatech X8000 MT.

Always try to provide links, even to our own wiki and at least relevant
parts of "dmesg" for all card related stuff.

I honestly had no idea in the beginning about what you might be talking
at all, just some decent echos in memory.

Good Luck,
Hermann
