Experiences

Both tvtime and XavTV shows me perfect/clear moving images. To setup sound I had to enable a pulseaudio loopback device as instructed at ubuntuforums.org.

The tuner on the radio seems a bit slow takes like 2 seconds to get to the right channel, but works perfectly.

$ fm -T forever 102.7

The IR get detected at /dev/input/event5, but I cannot test it as I cannot find the remote.

Misc

Q: if feasible "eeprom" output (from bttv tools)
A: I am not sure how-to retrieve this information. The bttv tools does not seems to apply to this chipset. But just [let me know] and I be happy to retrieve it.

Q: How to get it configured under Ubuntu 10.10
A: Make sure to set the modprobe options right and the pulseaudio config
