[linux-dvb] [PATCH] Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S

[Tino Reichardt]

Hello list,

I got last week a dvb-s card called Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S [A700] ...
I thought linux will get it to work... since the saa7134 chipset, which
was advertised, is well supported :)

But it wasn't :(


Here are some notes, which are also located @
www.mcmilk.de/projects/dvb-card/


Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S Pro [A700]

These are the Semiconductors on the card

- with that patch, composite and s-video are working
- the sound dosn't work currently
- there is /dev/dvb/* device


Now some questions:

Has this card a tuner - and which one ?
Can this card provide the /dev/radio interface ?
How should the DVB Frontend be added ... is 0x1c the lgdt330x frontend ?

Maybe some more questions ... but they will come later ;P

Can someone help me on that card ?
