Hi, The board is for sure a Bt848 based one. In order to interface to the tuner it has to use the I2c and GPI interface for which I have not written any code for . Before anyone decides to buy any of the bt848 based cards -- I am not done with my driver yet. Cause we are a multimedia group here are a couple of snapshots of the Intel board 8) ftp://rah.star-gate.com/bt848.jpg ftp://rah.star-gate.com/bt848-2.jpg Enjoy, Amancio >From The Desk Of Luigi Rizzo : > Hi, > > today at a localstore I found a PCI frame grabber based (from the > picture on the box) on the Bt848.
