Module Options

Normally the card needs no options.

Known Problems

  • As of Jan 2007, IR Remote still doesn't work
  • If you experience problems, this could be due to an old V4L driver in your kernel. You don't need to get sorurces and compile a new kernel to 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).

Notes

  • Older boards may require firmware update.
  • Don't confuse this card (Hybrid, LR-306N) with Duo (LR-306TA). Not only Duo card supports concurrent analog TV and digital TV watching (LR-306N can only concurrently display digital TV and an analog input like S-Video/CVBS); but the Duo IR-remote is supported by V4L driver, while Hybrid isn't.
