Hauppauge/TT Nova-CI budget

(stv0299/ALPS BSRU6(tsa5059))

 features: fullts
 card driver: budget-ci
 interface: PCI
 PCI device id: 1131:7146
 PCI subsystem id: 13c2:100c
 Bridge: Philips SAA7146A
 EEPROM: 2KB @0x50-0x5E (8x 256 bytes)
 frontend 1

   frontend driver: stv0299
   demodulator location: tin box

Hauppauge/TT Nova-CI budget

(stv0299b/Philips su1278(tsa5059))

 features: fullts,ci
 board markings: "B2S1100 Rev 1.0"
 card driver: budget-ci
 interface: PCI
 PCI device id: 1131:7146
 PCI subsystem id: 13c2:100f
 Bridge: Philips SAA7146A
 frontend 1:
   tin box: Philips su1278/sh
   frontend driver: stv0299
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: ST stv0299b @0x68
   PLL: Philips tsa5059 @0x60
 Notes: There are two versions - one with the CI components, and one with them missing. 
        The one with them missing cannot support a CI interface.
        Some of these cards have problems with certain multiswitches which do not draw any
          current - tuning to a V polarity will gradually "drift" to the H 
          polarity. Sypmtom is initial good lock on V channel, with signal 
          loss/extreme errors within a few seconds. Recent (>mid 2004?) cards are fine.
