Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 340e

From LinuxTVWiki

The 340e is quite different from the previous versions of the PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (320e, 330e etc.) and doesn't work anymore with em28xx modules.

The Package includes a remote ir controller and a small antenna. It has also a mini-usb connector on the side for A/V input.

The device is not currently supported under Linux, although KernelLabs has announced an experimental tree on Dec 27, 2009. The tree providing support can be found here: HG tree. Monitor the KernelLabs Blog for status updates.

Identification

is actively working on such support as of Oct 5, 2009 The device identifies itself as "PCTV 340e" and the subsystem information provided by lsusb -v is 2304:023d.

The XC4000 chip seems to be a low-cost version of the XC5000 and is not currently supported. Thus, the stick does not work with v4l at this moment.
