Thanks for that.

And I am currently kicking myself for not following up on my initial
suspicion of the strange photo of the card on linuxtv.org as opposed to
the photo of the product I was purchasing.

Well, Jason, at least you have some company in that regard; see the
following recent threads:

- http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=122263544930251&w=2

No.   At this point, I doubt that support for the Theater 550, 600 & 650
component parts, and consequently any of the devices that use them, will
ever be ascertained  ...  specifically, I doubt AMD/ATI  will ever
provide documentation for these chips, and, as they're not simplistic
parts, can understand why any developer would loathe the idea of trying
to reverse engineer support for them on their own.

Unlike their support for the graphics card end, it hasn't struck me that
AMD/ATI are too concerned about support for their multimedia product
portfolio....hmm, and now that I think about it, I wonder if rights to
these products also fell under a part of the recent Broadcom purchase
(of some ATI assets).

[linux-dvb] ATI TV Wonder HD 600

[Jason Craig]

Hi everyone-

I purchased this card because it would fit in my low profile box and I
mistook it for the "HDTV Wonder" that I had seen on the linuxtv.org and
mythtv Wikis, only to find out that it wasn't (after banging my head
against the wall for a few hours).  Anyways, my ragged mind is now at a
bit of a loss as to if (how) I can get my TV Wonder HD 600 PCI working. 
I noticed in the September archive for this list there was a patch
posted to "Use correct firmware for the ATI TV Wonder 600", so I assume
the card is (going to be) supported.

Is there any way currently to use this card?  Do I need a newer kernel? 
If so, what version?  Any help would be appreciated.

thank you all,
--Jason

Hello Jason,

I don't know what the status is on the PCI version, but I wrote the
patch you are referring to and it's the ATI TV Wonder 600 *USB*.  Yes,
I'm kicking myself now that I realize I didn't make the message more
clear.

Devin
