Uff, I just gave my TT-DVB-T card (that I also bought at dvb-shop.de) to Holger(@convergence.de), because it didn't tune to any channel within Linux - guess what he said (translation by me ;): "You have a Spase SP8870 chip on you board. AFAIK this was only used with some prototypes; this chip isn't produced for a long time. [...] It is currently not supported by the Linux driver and I don't know if I'm willing to spend much energy on this." > Did dvb-shop.de send me some old junk?

AFAIK Holger has the specs and some sample code for the successor chip, the SP8872. Hmm, maybe I should contact the people at dvb-shop and ask the about these boards. Depending on this maybe Holger is willing to continue/finish the work on this part of the driver. Holger?
