[linux-dvb] Re: TT DVB-T Do I have a prototype board? (rev 1.2)

["Edward Wildgoose" <ed@wildgooses.com>]

Actually, since the patch to support the SP8870 went in well before the
start of 2003 is it not included in the latest "release" driver, ie 1.00
pre2, anyway?

Do I just need to get the microcode from the windows driver to get
everything going?

What am I missing by not having a more recent revision of the card anyway?

Thanks
