Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: There's a problem, though. Programming data for the chipsets seems not to be easily available. I would also love to be able to make a try at supporting a card (in my case, the HVR-2250 in analog mode) but to do so requires access to info that I could not get. -Carlos Christophe Thommeret @ 24/6/2009 11:23 UTC -0300 dixit: > Le Wednesday 24 June 2009 15:57:43 Julien Martin, vous avez écrit : >> Hello, >> >> I am posting today because I am VERY interested in learning more about how >> to code a driver for a tv tuner card. >> >> I am learning C and to a lesser extent Assembly. >> >> Could you be so kind as to answer the following questions: >> >> 1.
