[linux-dvb] TT DVB-T and SP8870

[Johan Martensson <jom@virrvarr.com>]

Hi all,                                                               
                                                                      
After seeing that the TT-DVD-T was supported I happily ordered a card 
from dvb-shop.de. Now I've received it and tested it. It seems that   
the card is equipped with a SP8870. After a short and unsuccessful    
test drive I had a look at the code and browsed the archives. It seems
that the SP8870 was never fully developed and it has been dropped in  
newstruct.                                                            
                                                                      
Am I the only person with a SP8870 equipped TT DVD-T card? Printed on 
my card is "t-dvb rev 1.2". Since I got my card now I'd like to think 
that mine is newer that other peoples but a quick google search for   
SP8870 wasn't too promising. Or have I maybe misunderstood            
everything....                                                        
                                                                      
Did dvb-shop.de send me some old junk? How come that the driver was   
never finished? Does anyone have specs or hints that would make it    
possible for me to complete the driver? I've no prior knowledge       
regarding dvb, just some general programming knowledge (I've actually 
written a linux device driver some years ago;) ) but I'm willing to   
give it a try if it doesn't seem too impossible.                      
                                                                      
Any hints and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I don't want to be 
stuck                                                                 
with windows.                                                         
                                                                      
Thanks,
