SAA7164 - Analogue Support on HVR devices

SAA7164 - Analogue Support on HVR devices

[Lou Otway]

First I'd like to say thanks to the maintainers of the various HVR 
drivers, the amount of work that goes in is much appreciated.

I notice from www.kernellabs.com that progress on the digital side for 
SAA7164 devices is going well and a stable driver is nearly ready.

I, like many people, would really like to have analogue support for 
these devices, is there any news on when this functionality might be 
available?

Thanks in advance.

Lou

There is presently no work in progress on analog support.  The goal at
this point is to stabilize the digital side, isolating the remaining
bugs.

Cheers,

Thank you.

If you read back far enough with the SAA7164 related posts you'll see that 
finalizing DTV is the primary focus, everything else is up for review once this 
task is complete.

Hi
I don't have this card, but I have some other hauppauge cards.

What is meant by analogue support?

>From my perspective I understand if TV analogue is dropping priority but
for me the Composite/Svideo analogue on Hauppauge cards is more
important - since I use them to hook up to my Satellite boxes.

Do you count that as analogue too?

Thanks
