1.1       js          1: Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
                      2: =================================================
                      3: 
                      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.
                     17:
