My subscription requests to linux-media have yielded nothing. Anything broken with the approval process? 2. I agree with another poster: I only care about broadcast and cable video, both analog and digital. I eventually hope to help get my "AnyTV AUTV002 USB ATSC/QAM Tuner Stick" supported by V4L, and then use it in a MythTV system. I'd prefer a list that focuses on such devices and systems, if possible. Which seems to match the mission of linux-dvb! The general issue of multi-posting seems typical of list forking/merging/moving, and should settle down as the intent of each of the lists in the group of lists becomes better established in practice. -BobC
