==Card connectors==

It is supported in Linux.

Note: Don't confuse this card (Hybrid, LR-306N) with the Duo (LR-306TA) model (the Duo card supports concurrent analog TV and digital TV watching whereas the LR-306N can only concurrently display digital TV and an analog input like S-Video/CVBS). In addition, the Duo's IR-remote is supported by V4L drivers, whereas Hybrid's isn't.)

A hybrid DVB-T PCI card from LifeView.

It is supported in Linux.

Note: Don't confuse this card (Hybrid, LR-306N) with the Duo (LR-306TA) model (the Duo card supports concurrent analog TV and digital TV watching whereas the LR-306N can only concurrently display digital TV and an analog input like S-Video/CVBS). In addition, the Duo's IR-remote is supported by V4L drivers, whereas Hybrid's isn't.)

Overview/Features

  • Analog TV
  • Digital (DVB-T) TV
  • S-Video/CVBS Input
  • FM Radio
  • VBI (Teletext)
  • Digital audio input (via alsa or oss module)
  • Low profile form factor
  • remote control

Card connectors:

  • TV Antenna
  • FM Radio Antenna
  • Multi-purpose input connector: via a supplied connector attaches to S-Video input (Mini-DIN), Composite video + stereo audio input (chinch), IR-Remote input (2.5mm stereo socket)
  • Audio input: four-pin plug-in (white) connector for CD Player, will mix audio with TV board's (internal)
  • Audio output: four-pin plug-in (black) connector (internal)

Components Used

  • Philips TDA8290 (TDA8275a) (tuner)
  • Philips TDA10046 [1] Analog / DVB-T demodulator
  • Philips SAA7133 [2] (A/V decoder)

Identification

Output from lspci -v:

0000:00:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d0)
Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc.: Unknown device 3306
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 50
Memory at febfe800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

(some versions identify as device 3302 instead of 3306)

Making it work

Firmware

  • Older boards may require firmware update.

Drivers

Module Options: Normally the card needs no options.

  • If you experience problems, this could be due to an old V4L driver in your kernel. You don't need to get sources and compile a new kernel update V4L; just get Mercurial (similar to CVS), use it to download latest V4L-DVB version, and compile it. You can then install the new V4L modules on top of your existing kernel (detailed instructions here on linuxtv).
