Yes, but that's just a bt848/878 chip which is well known. The problem is to find out how the chips are interconnected. In principle the drivers for all the chips are available. I don't know how far they have gotten with that. We haven't worked on the PVR because of other projects. The same is true for the kfir driver which still lacks an API other than cat /dev/video >my.mpg. Some settings are possible as module parameters, but a nice API would help. We have been waiting for suggestions, but so far there hasn't been much. Marcus
