Nowhere, except for the "prologic drivers" for a similar card, requiring many tweaks and of dubious design and license. NB: some people recommend *against* looking at those drivers for legal reasons, if you want to develop your own. You have to make up your own mind about that; I've googled but found nothing conclusive. Well, if nothing else they may burn your eyes and fry your brain. ;-) See <URL:http://www.shspvr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1378>. See also other forums at that site for more info.

PAL I PAL B/G or NTSC? Or something else? I have a WinTV-PVR-350. I'm not sure I will be able to cook up drivers, but will try. Beware, MyFirstDriver(tm). For all I know the "leaked" prologic drivers are put there as a proof of concept to lure suckers like me into writing a Linux driver for the 350 and 250. :-} I may not have bought this card if I had googled better before buying; I mistook recent bttv improvements and related general documentation changes as support for this card. I don't recommend buying any until there are Linux drivers. I've got the IR working, but the card is too expensive for just that. :-) Besides, that's the simple part of the driver, using existing chip modules with a trivial PCI driver framework. The I2C stuff is deducible using info PlasmaJohn has posted here and elsewhere. More later, maybe; no promises. I really hope someone else is working on this too. brgds, H-P
