        !             4:   Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
        !             5:   frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
        !             6:   changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
        !             7:   are also available in versions with different frontends for
        !             8:   DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately.
        !             9: 
        !            10:   Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
        !            11:   out-of-the box with every card, because of different wiring.
        !            12: 
        !            13:   Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
        !            14:   tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
        !            15:   the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
        !            16:   shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.
