I think you hit it the nail on the squarely on the head with your response that I want something known to work sooner rather than at some point in the future. For me Time is an issue. I neither have the time nor the desire to design and build a pre-alpha stage driver for a product that's already a challenge. Unlike some I have interests that extend beyond m*tv. While, I like to tweak code from time to time, I need a product that I can install and actually use. Besides I get enough dev work at work. When I come home I like to distance myself. However, I do have a few modifications planned. But nothing too dramatic.

Note: I've spent months on this "weekend project" before I was able to get myth installed and running in a pseudo-stable manner. And that was with vendor supported products. Steep learning curve ? You bet. Would I do it again, Hell NO!

There is nothing wrong with wanting to write a driver for some product, but I hope you understand that it's not as simple as it sounds, and since you can't expect ATI to offer any assistance, all I can say is good luck and let me know how you are doing in say 6 months or so.

Well, at least this time my question got a response. :)

I'll keep hacking away at it until I figure it out. I know what you are saying Todd but some people enjoy the process of figuring something out. I have recommended he get a hauppauge if he is in a hurry and wants it working quickly or just wait and we will figure it out.

So thanks for the responses sometimes just typing an email and sending it the list helps a person think. I remember that I did have it working once before without all the dvb stuff so I can remove that as a problem. I am leaning toward it being an ivtv driver issue, I'll try various ones until I find one that works, I think it was 100zz that it was working with before.

Thanks again,

Jon
