Hi Hans, Thanks for your help.
I looked at linuxtv.org, but I was not able find out how and what to download? There are repositories like ivtv-i2c, newer-ic2 etc. there is also v4l-dvb which is probably not itvtv etc. I am working every day with svn and cvs, but the site is really confusing (for me at least). Is there a link to a ivtv snapshot or something like that?
