As of 1st January 2011, this card is still not supported by the V4L-DVB tree. However, very minor changes as documented on Mr. Liplianin's changeset [http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/rev/4dc29dc9ec91 14355] are required to make it work. |

The simplest way to make it work is to use the [[s2-liplianin]] v4l branch. |
