The AVerMedia A771 is a, so called, budget or software decoding PCI DVB-T card. These cards work well with the latest kernels.
It is the successor to the original AVerTV DVB-T card, the A761 model.
Overview
The AVerMedia A771 features:
- a MT352 demodulator ... The first few versions of the MT352 driver didn't work so well, so try upgrading if you have problems with tuning.
(mt352/samsung tdtc9251dh0(??))
features: Card is capable of delivering the full unmodified TS stream to userspace.

Kernel configuration
If building your own kernel, you would want to select all options under "I2C" and all options under "Video for Linux" (incl. "DVB", obviously).
AVerMedia actually wrote a nice HOWTO for Setting up an AVerMedia A771 DVB-T card under Linux ... likely very dated by now, but worth a look.
After compilation, to get the card to work simply call "modprobe dvb_bt8xx". Then run, "scan" (from dvb apps) or MythTV as normal.
