Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 340e

Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (340e)

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 currently supported under Linux since kernel 3.1, but analog TV is out of reach. The tree providing support can be found here: HG tree. Monitor the KernelLabs Blog for status updates.
