AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress

The AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress is a series of hybrid DVB-T ExpressCards from AVerMedia. The HC82U is the model for the US market. The HC82R is sold worldwide. It seems there is a relation to a reported bug. Drivers exist, but they are not working for all users.

Overview/features

• HDTV H.264/MPEG-2 Live TV Ready up to 1080i
• Analog TV
• DVB-T
• FM radio with stereo sound support
• AV in (RCA) input support

Drivers

This driver claims to produce a stream by now. But for me and some other guys it is not working right now. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6584081 for details.

Possible inputs

• 75 Ω TV antenna
• FM input
• S-Video
• Composite (RCA) input
