Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: I looked around in the archives of: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/ as mentioned in the welcome email of this list, but it isn't apparent to me what the status in Linux of using a device based on this chip is? When inserting the USB dongle I get the following: Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1d19, idProduct=1102 Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: Product: Rtl2832UDVB Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Realtek Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 1 Dec 3 20:56:22 kultorvet kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice In Windows Vista it runs fine, showing TV using both MPEG2 and MPEG4 encoded signals, but I would much rather run it with Linux. I am also developing software for a living, but not this close to hardware, however I would like to help out the way I can. Thanks, Peter
