pvrusb2

pvrusb2 is a Linux device driver for a class of USB based TV tuners that feature a hardware MPEG2 encoder (the Conexant cx23416). It was originally developed to support the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2, hence its name.

The driver is included in the LinuxTV V4L-DVB tree. In addition, two other revisions of the driver are available from the project's homepage.
