View source for LifeView FlyDVB-T Hybrid

A hybrid [[DVB-T]] [[DVB-T PCI Cards|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)

==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 [http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_mercurial here on linuxtv]).
