Sitting on IRC

Tried sitting on linuxtv.org's IRC channels overnight (freenode #linuxtv and #v4l), with no reply. Still, will leave it on while at work too. Never know.

But fortunately the #v4l welcome message gives a url to latest supported hardware, and mine's in the list! So there's hope for this daft TV card after all. Will give the install a shot on Friday night.

Might have some trouble with the Thomson DTT 75105 tuner though, as I cant find it in the HCL. Trusting in the IRC gurus for now.

I dont understand whether we're matching drivers to chips, or drivers to PCI boards. Because I can find the driver for my 0070:9002 Hauppauge chip, but not for the Thomson tuner on the same card. If I find a match for this 0070:9002 number, then I'm sorted, right? The fact that the actual chip says CX23882-39 and I can find no mention of this anywhere kinda worries me. If I've got the driver for one of my card's two big chips, will the other be covered in that?
