[linux-dvb] Support for MSI TV @nywhere Satellite

[Sven Eschenberg]

Hi List,

what exactly is needed, to get support for the TV @nywhere Satellite.

Some Info that might be required:

Card has Connectors for Sat, S-Video, AV (RCA JAcket), and IR reciever.

Card is based upon Conexant CX23883-39 and uses a MB86A16 (L)
Tuner/Demodulator from Fairchild Semiconductors.

There is a sticker on the card saying 1027_V1.2 (Seems there are different
Versions/Revisions).

Output from lspci:

Audio Decoder (rev 05)

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. If further information
is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

I just realized, thath the twinhan AD-SP200(1027) board looks exactly the
same as the MSI TV @nywhere Satellite board, as far as I can compare it
and it seems it is no coincidence, that the MSI board carries the
1027_V1.2 Sticker.
