[linux-dvb] dvb-kernel and Pinnacle PCTV Sat

[Gunther Laure <gunnar2@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at>]

Hi,

I wish to ask if it is currently possible to run the PCTV Sat with the
new V4L2 dvb-kernel driver? As I read in the mailing list archive some
said it should be possible, whereas others mentioned that the frontend
driver may not be complete. The README.bt8xx mentions the pctv and the
hauppauge nebula card in the same sentence. But as they use different
chipsets, I am not convinced that the pctv cards really works.

The reason why I ask: I am the developer for a small tv application
(dvbtv.sourceforge.net) that wraps mplayer and dvbstream and allows IR
zapping with this card and the old "pinnacle-experimental" driver. 

But I believe that the v4l2 driver would allow using better apps like
tvtime and freevo and that I can concentrate on other things. Of course
I would add the steps to use dvb-kernel with this card to the HOWTO also
hosted at my site.

Thank you for your answers,
Gunther
