[linux-dvb] Leadtek WinFast HDTV Cinema
Any word on if this card (Leadtek WinFast HDTV Cinema) is supported or not? http://www.leadtek.com/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6pronameid=359 Thanks, John M. Drescher ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

At this point (based upon my visual inspection), I would say that odds are pretty good that it would be fairly trivial to add support for this device. Here's where you can help if you have such a device already: - confirm the identity of the decoder/bridge IC ... I can't make it out from the pics on Leadtek's site or newegg, but like I said, I imagine its the saa7135 ... might be using NXP's logo now instead of the former Philips - identify the 18 pin IC to the right of the tuner module and above the decoder/bridge IC . this may very well be the same as the one used on the KWorld cards ... unfortunately, the IC on the KWorld cards is labelled only with an entirely non-identifiable KS007 no one has been able to ascertain the true identity of the IC, and potentially find a datasheet for it ... finding a datasheet for it would likely be very beneficial ... support for the KWorld cards' remote has never been finalized because, although patches exist, said support is not perfect and appears to conflict with some other devicesit certainly would be nice to bring some closure to that end if possible. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I did not see that page when I searched. I guess I used the wrong search terms.

I was considering purchasing this card or an kworld 115 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815260005 - confirm the identity of the decoder/bridge IC ...

Other than the problems with remote do the Kworld cards work well? I am mostly concerned with HD content over QAM256.
