Hi, everyone
I just bought a USB TV/FM Radio tuner from Nogatech called USBTV.
I would like to have it working in linux and I read that Zoran bought
Nogatech some time ago. I think there are some drivers and software to
use this Zoran cards in linux but I cannot find how to install them
anywhere...
USB TV capture drivers are almost completely different from PCI/ISA
drivers. Some of the code (tuner and video decoder code) should be
similar, but the rest will have to be written from scratch if it doesn't
already exist.
I have tried to find information about how to configure and maybe try to
set up this thing but the help in the web about it is very disperse.
This is almost definitely based on the NT1003/NT1004 (NT probably
stands for NogaTech), which has a driver available at
http://software.freepage.de/usbvision/

Could anybody indicate a place to get a Howto or a FAQ about TV and
linux?? Have anybody experimented with this kind of card (or similar
USB/TV configuration) on linux??
I have a capture device (Lifeview USB CapView) that is supported by the
ov511 driver. It doesn't have a tuner, but it can capture 320x240 from
composite or S-Video at 7.5 FPS. Hardware compression support should
eventually allow for 25-30 FPS. The NT1003/NT1004 should be very similar
in terms of performance.
