Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers ================================================= Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards are also available in versions with different frontends for DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately. Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works out of the box with every card, because of different wiring. Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number. o Frontends drivers: - dvb_dummy_fe: for testing...
