Is the driver available for beta testing? With all the programming here available over ATSC (and it looks and sounds SOOOO much better than NTSC), I haven't even bothered/attempted to do NTSC... What I ment by the driver appears to work is that I'm able to get data out of the card... I only worked on the digital video, and the driver will need a bit more work to support video, audio and digital video... > > but the people over at > > linux-dvb don't seem to know anyone to help figure out why my ATI HDTV > > Wonder doesn't work very well.. > > Is it the ATSC demodulator chip that isn't working? Yes, and I'm not sure why... I am able to get a trickle of data out of the card, and it is valid, in that I get the TVCT table that has data, but when I do, I only get about 100kB/sec, definately not the 2.5MB/sec I'm suppose to... The Linux driver also has a bug in that they don't consistantly keep two registers that control serial or parallel mode for the digital video input, and the linux-dvb list completely ignored the report... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
