Thank you.

I had actually found that driver before but was unsuccessful in getting
it to work as well, which is how i found ivtv during my searching. I
will dig more into that driver and see if anything comes of it.

I am wondering however, are you saying that if I upgrade my kernel to
2.6.18 or higher that ivtv will work with this device?

Thanks again for your input.

CJ
