AVerMedia TV+FM CardBus E506R

Info

Original product page

AVermedia released their card with binary only driver for Mandriva and FC3/4. For ancient kernels of course. Due to licensing from chip vendor and the fact that AVerMedia is a proud GPL violator -- they do not bother publishing source for their driver that is actually based on V4L.

Looking inside the card we can see that it is:

• Philips SAA7135HL PCI Audio/Video Broadcast Decoder
• Xceive XC3028 Silicon Tuner
• Zarlink MT352 Digital Terrestrial TV Demodulator

Analogue TV seems to work already (audio probably not)

There's some experimental code in
