When the manufacturer stops updating the drivers, the drivers will quickly refuse to install as newer kernels are released.

Depending on what exactly the manufacturer did, you may have to reinstall the drivers every time your kernel is updated.

There was probably a reason the manufacturer didn't just send their patches to the linux-media mailinglist.

The quality of the code (if open, there are also cases where you just get a binary blob) too often just isn't good enough and there's still too much work to be done to make the device work.

If the manufacturer provides open source drivers with an acceptable license, volunteers could technically implement this code in the Linux kernel for true support.

Sometimes a manufacturer forks v4l-dvb all on their own and writes a driver for their device so they can claim Linux support. In such cases, the best path might be to try to spearhead the driver development for your device yourself, or hire someone who can. Often times, even if they wished to help, their energies are entirely tied up with other projects.

May pass without garnering a response-a distinct byproduct of the fact that there are a limited number of developers, whom might be able to help, that are associated with the project.

(Honestly, this point really shouldn't even need to be written, but you'd be surprised at the number of irrational individuals who write into the mailing list demanding this or that). So being demanding is one sure route to being ignored. You're soliciting help from volunteer developers who work on V4L-DVB matters in their spare time, and such work can be non-trivial (i.e.

Should NOT be treated as an order drop-off queue.

However, please note that inquiries to the mailing list:

Note that if your device is similar to or contains components for which driver development is currently being undertaken, then it is possible that you will pique the developers' interest and can obtain some assistance that, possibly, leads to full support for your device. If you own one or more devices from the following list and you want to help with support development, please contact the Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML). Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD Rev.2 (since Linux 3.10).TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3600 (supported since Linux 3.2).Technisat SkyStar USB 2 HD CI (Possibly Azurewave AD-SB300 clone.).Pinnacle PCTV DVB-S2 Stick (461e) (since Linux 3.14).Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky V2 USB (DVBSKY S960 clone).Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky USB (DVBSKY S860 clone).6 Closed source userspace drivers (mostly Sundtek).3 Currently Unsupported DVB-S2 USB Devices.Lastly, it bears worth repeating the request: Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!.

If you encounter such an occurrence, please do report your success on the LMML so that proper detection/identification of your device can be added within the drivers. In such a case, your non-listed but working device will likely be reported in your system messages as being one of those previously supported devices. Because the component constitution on many devices are often similar or identical, there may be devices that are unlisted but may actually work with the existing driver framework for previously supported devices.In any regard, in respect to the above listed suggestions, you may find it to be the case that your device is actually already supported or that experimental support is available. Note: when it comes to support, it is generally a good idea to try the current V4L-DVB sources because some device drivers can be very new and thus may have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.by posting a question about the device directly to the LMML ( but please do conduct a search first, as it may already have been discussed!).
