Hi Mika,
you should also ask the guys in the linuxtv mailing list (linux-dvb@linuxtv.org) !
this is what I know from www.vdrportal.de:
-the card (also known as Nexus-CA) works :-)
-sound via the analog output is only possible with patched drivers. There exists an older "quick-and-dirty"-patch, but this patch doesn`t work with the current dvb-kernel CVS. I compiled a kernel 2.6.14 with this patched driver for LinVDR, and the tester said it works ! You can find the patch at http://www.sroegner.de/vdr/patches.php
-sound via the digital output works since one or two weeks with the current dvb-kernel drivers.
To get both working (analog + digital sound with the same driver) there are two possibilities:
-find somebody who is able to modify the "dirty" analog-patch so that it works with the current dvb-kernel -wait until a "clean" solution for analog audio is found, so that it can be integrated officially in the dvb-kernel CVS
Hope this helps you!
Hi,
Thanks for the help. The card sounds usable enough. Actually I was asking this to help a friend who is setting up a system. I myself am lucky enough to have a vdr setup with a TT DVB-C 2.1 and a budget card.
This should get us going.

Just my 2 cents... I considered the DVB-C 2300, but I found out that the only video output is composite.
There is no J2 block on these cards - if you want S-Video or RGB, you'll have to be mighty accurate with the soldering iron!
This I believe is the real reason the 2300 is much cheaper on dvbshop.net than other cards, simply because most people wanting a hardware decoder card are interested in image quality, and composite-only is useless for this.
Cheers, Gavin.
The lack of J2 is is not good, but are there any alternative DVB-C premium cards available, now that the DVB-C 2.1 is finally out of stock?
At least the shopping cart at http://www.dvbshop.net reports
*** NO STOCK - KEIN LAGERBESTAND ***
for Technotrend DVB-C 2.1 C2100 Prem. Ed.
