I don't have. I have a few Terratec DVB-C devices here with DRXK, using different bridge drivers. I started looking on them based on a released DRXK driver, but, as Oliver already had some work on the drxk driver, it is better to merge Oliver series first and then I start working on adding DRXK support to the other drivers, to avoid duplicated work at the DRXK drivers. > It belongs to the ngene family but has PLL tuners. > http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_2400i_DVB-T > > There are some drivers floating on the net that I have got to work in Ubuntu > 8.04 but the current ngene drivers has moved on a long way and left it behind. > > Si. > -- 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
