	Ditto! I got the
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip,
extracted the firmware and I have a partial good result:

1) I can use my camera, although it seems to be stuck in PAL-BG (as Aidan
Thornton wrote before) and I can see a (although black & white) perfect picture.

	PAL-M and NTSC support isn't implemented yet, am I right?

2) radio isn't working:

xc2028 3-0061: Loading firmware for type=BASE FM (401), id 0000000000000000.
xc2028 3-0061: Loading firmware for type=FM (400), id 0000000000000000.
xc2028 3-0061: Loading SCODE for type=SCODE HAS_IF_3280 (60000000), id 0000000000000000.
xc2028 3-0061: Device is Xceive 3028 version 1.0, firmware version 2.7

	But with xc3028_specific_radio.fw from Markus' provided
firmwares, radio worked great. Unfortunately i can't use it with your approach.

	Any hints about radio?

3) the above .sys file has 2 .sys versions: 32 and 64 bit versions. I
tried to extract from both and both worked the same way. I use x86-64.
Should I stick with the firmware extracted from the 64 bit .sys file or
it doesn't make any difference?

	At least something has worked, which is a good news for owners
of xceive based devices. If it got merged in 2.6.25 it would be fantastic!

	Thank you very much.

	Ps: I want to collaborate with testing as much as possible. So feel
free to ask for more testing, if needed.
