IN REPLY TO:<br><br><pre>> Hello,<br>> <br>> I'm interested in getting this card working under Linux as well, it's <br>> labelled GDI2500PCTV on the back, and has a Conexant CX23881 visible on <br>> the front, with a Philips "TU1216/1 H P" RF box... Looks like there may <br>> be some more ICs under the metal box, but I'd have to desolder it to <br>> check what they were (which I can do if necessary).<br>> <br>> There seems to be TU1216 support in both v4l/saa7134-dvb.c and <br>> v4l/budget-av.c (code cut-n-paste by the look of it), but I can't see a <br>> way to select this tuner with the cx88xx module (e.g. CARDLIST.tuner).<br>> <br>> So... I'm game for trying to get this working, and have a bit of kernel <br>> programming experience, but is there anything else I'm likely to need to <br>> know before I set out on this?<br>> Cheers!<br>> <br>> Tim.<br></pre>Hi Tim,<br><br>I've got two of these cards,
and they give a really good picture in windows so I'd love to be able to use them on my Myth box rather than ebay them and get alternatives. I don't have any kernel programming experience but I'm ready to roll my sleeves up and see what happens if you want a guinea pig. My programming experience in the linux world goes as far as tweaking php files and things like that. Currently have the full set of latest v4l-dvb drivers on my backend and plenty of opportunity to fiddle with the config etc. <br><br>Let me know if you wanna bang heads on this...<br>Rick<br></div></div></div><br>
