No (save for trying to talk to it and go through trial and error for all unique (known for certain tuner types) parameters such as bandswitch commands and others). You may be able to google it though, or try linuxtv.org. Even then, there are hardware products branded almost or entirely the same which actually have different chips or may even require completely different drivers. > > Perhaps you may want to try kbtv2 instead, as that's the codebase I'm > > currently working on. > > > > Amd64 is not tested yet, that's all.

I'm not saying that will work instantly, but there we have an opportunity to try and fix things, whereas the kbtv1 code is not going to be updated anymore. (You may want to try kbtv-1.2.5 though if you want to persue kbtv1 further, this never got into ports but is available on my website, that's the last official kbtv1 release). HTH, Dan
