USB tv card
 

Hey guys, I'm currently working on my uni project and thats to write a driver and software to use a usb tv card adapter. Unfortunately my project coordinator isn't responding to my emails and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

I've been onto the web and there are no drivers for my device. I have used windows and a usb snoop to collect the stream that is sent between the driver and the device and it's odd. When I plug the device in the driver see's it's there sends some data (which I can't understand as it's in hex) and then after about 500 send/receives it stops even if I then view a channel or do a scan.

I think (and this is a huge guess here) that once the driver sets up the card to work in sync with the computer the program from the supplier takes over.

Anyway I was wondering if you guys could possibly point me in the right direction. I'm planning to write the software in C++ with wxWidgets. I'm also planning to write the driver in C.

Thanks for your help guys.

Michael.

Maybe you should try checking out the usbvision sourceforge page (http://usbvision.sourceforge.net/). They have some forums there, and even if the driver doesn't exist they might be able to give you some more helpful information. I believe I saw some driver writing discussions going on there when I was trying to get an old usb tv card working, but I eventually caved and bought the linux pchdtv card (which is awesome by the way). Anyway, good luck with the project. Its always good to see people working to support more hardware.
