Several users who saw the announcement of support for the Hauppauge USBLive2 several months ago reported in the blog comments that the support became broken in the mainline kernel. After finally getting some time to investigate, I did confirm that there had been a regression, identified the issue, and have submitted a patch for upstream inclusion. The patch can be found at the following link. It can be applied against the current media_build tree, as well as the 3.0.0 kernel. http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg34771.html Thanks go out to Robert DeLuca for sponsoring...

If you happen to own one of the newer Hauppauge USBLive2 video grabbers, or the newest version of the Hauppauge HVR-850, you can find support for it here: http://kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/polaris4/ It's not completely cleaned up yet, but both devices are working. Thanks go out to Conexant for making available a base Linux driver, and to Hauppauge for sample hardware and sponsoring device support and a bunch of the cleanup work required to get the changes into the mainline kernel. Tester feedback welcome, as always.
