support for Philips TDA 8275A-chipset?



Hello,

I'm not sure if attachments are allowed ... I've contacted Pinnacle support 
again and received an answer (already somt ime ago). See the pdf for the 
chipsets. Anyway, the pci-express-chipset is the phillips-chipset that isn't 
supported yet as far as I know. So, this pdf-document is for the Pinnacle 
pci-express-hybrid-card (dvb-t and analogue). I saw that soemeone tried to 
get the specifications for the card from Philips/NXP and didn't get them 
because he isn't from Belgium. Well, I'm from Belgium :). I'll maybe try to 
get them and pass them on to you. I don't really have the intention to write 
a driver in my free time. Who knows, maybe I'll try it :).

Greetings,

Michel
