Hi there,
I have a UTV analog TV box (with an EMPIA EM2860 chipset) which I purchased to convert old vhs to DVD.
I think I need the driver from v4l to get the my usb TV box to work.But the following from the v4l web site seems to be saying its in the kernel already. Right?
I get the following message from the wiki for the em28xx page:
" * in-kernel em28xx driver: radio and analog TV (including broadcast audio) are working fine. Support for DVB/ATSC is not present yet.
* no firmware is required for em28xx ICs ... note: though em28xx based devices paired with some tuners will need firmware for the tuner (i.e. there are em28xx based devices paired with a XCeive XC3028 or XC2028 tuner, which require a generic firmware from Xceive).
In layman's terms what is it really telling me?
Do I need to install a driver or should the device work because us is "in-kernel"?
My web cam works (in a fashion) with both Xawtv and Zapping but I have a usb connection to the USB TV box (where the chipset resides). TVTime and MeTV don't work either.
What do I need to do now?
Help appreciated with thanks.
John
