That's exactly what you did, so now it's possible to add it. If you know how to do it, you can create a patch to add the new ID. Of course you have to define a new PID, as you cannot overwrite an existing PID like they suggest on the Ubuntu forums. If you don't know hot to do a patch, I can do it for you, as long as you are willing to test it. It would be nice to know the exact name of the new product. I see people reporting it as a new revision of the Elgato EyeTV DTT and others as the Elgato EyeTV Deluxe. Which one do you have exactly? Regards, Gianluca
