Hello I've just bough that and it seems that the EC168 driver can't work with it ( yet ) The PCB identifies itself as a ForwardVideo "EzTV818_D.". Work with a EC168 and a MXL5003S ( no doubt about it, but it is barely legible, and since i've no camera, no PCB picture available ). ( and the EC168BDA.bin firmware is provided on the CD )
A typical dmesg for it : [19715.764919] usb 2-1.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 [19715.873356] usb 2-1.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [19715.878085] dvb-usb: found a 'E3C EC168 DVB-T USB2.0 reference design' in cold state, will try to load a firmware [19715.878096] firmware: requesting dvb-usb-ec168.fw [19715.929889] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-ec168.fw' [19715.985884] dvb-usb: found a 'E3C EC168 DVB-T USB2.0 reference design' in warm state.

I've checked the antenna cable ( my old Intuix S800 work perfectly in the same setup but it does not have a remote :) ) Thanks for any info/tips. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
