It appears it is a Provideo Multimedia PV-967C a card for which I can find almost no information except for a low-resolution picture on this page: http://www.nucleuscomputer.com.au/provideo/Multimedia.htm It has no analog tuner, a CX23416 chip, and two other chips that I cannot make out. Only two other cards supported by the kernel's ivtv driver are like this, and neither one of them looks like the PV-967C. You are an owner of a MyTellyHD, and I believe you have a modified Linux kernel on that device. *If* that is the case, under the terms of the GPL, *you* are entitled to the source code modified by Interact-TV that corresponds to the binaries that Interact-TV distributed. Please verify that your unit runs a linux kernel, and then politely request of Interact-TV that they provide you with the modified linux kernel source code, per the GPL. If they balk, tell them that all you really want in the modifications made to the kernel for the MPEG capture card with PCI id 1540:9673 (which I think is a Provideo Multimedia PV-967C). If you can easily obtain those modifications, then supporting your card will be easy. If you cannot, then I'll need high resolution pictures of the card, and we'll have to go back and forth through a series of testing and patches on the ivtv-devel list. > I see suspicious message in dmesg - “Invalid EEPROM”. Is that a problem? No. Your card's PCI ID, and hence configuration, is unknown to the ivtv driver. > Any help or pointer would be much appreciated.
