Whoot! Although it is a preliminary release, there's encouraging news that the linux folks will be able to use the cheaper Hauppauge WinTV PVR150 [1] with mythTV/Linux!! Good job Ulf, Chris Kennedy, and anyone else that pitched in on coding, documenting, experimenting, testing, etc this frequently asked for linux tuner/encoder driver in the IVTV project [2]

Here's a copy of Ulf's message [3] on the IVTV-Dev mailing list [4]

"Here is a patch for ivtv-0.3.2a [5], that enables audio and PAL tuner support.

It is not finished in any sense, but since there is a lot of activity about the 150 cards on the mailing list a though that I should share it in its current state.

If you use this driver. I urge you to donate $10 or more to the Asian earthquake and tsunamis victims [6] through the Red Cross organization [7].

Please see the doc/README.cx25840 file for usage information.


The patch can be downloaded from:
