I doubt that this will help, it will moreover scare them off and also put a bad light on Linux we already have a list of supported devices on linuxtv.org if people buy the wrong devices it's their fault in the end. Better support the available devices properly so that everyone can easily use them... "everyone" is the highest burden at this time... James > Devin > > -- > Devin J.
