AVerMedia M103 (Hybrid) Mini PCI

Example Image: Add a good overall image of what the device looks like here and perhaps a very brief description

This is a Hybrid DVB-T Mini PCI card from AverMedia.

The AverMedia M103 is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.24.

Overview/Features

This device is also known as "AverTV Hybrid DVB-T" or "Avermedia M103 (hybrid)".

TV

• Analog TV: Worldwide Analog Access
• Digital TV: DVB-T
• Stereo Sound: Yes

Input/Output

• Inputs: 75 ohm TV Antenna Input
• Outputs: None

Features

• Windows XP MCE Compliant (XP MCE Certificated)
• Unbundled Remote Control Supported
• PCI v2.3 interface

Note: This device has just one input using a BNC to u.FL pigtail, so no any other inputs such FM radio, S-Video and Remote. Also, this devices doesn't have any external Audio/Video outputs, so the Audio should be software piped (see later) to an other Audio device

Components Used

The following ICs and modules used by the device:

• Philips SAA7134 - Philips Video Decoder and Broadcast Audio Decoder / PCI bridge (for worldwide sku)
• Zarlink MT352 - Silicon Tuner - Zarlink DVB-T Demodulator (Digital Terrestrial TV Demodulator)
• Xceive XC3018 - Xceive Silicon Tuner (for Hybrid system)

Identification

Provide here, for PCI/PCIe devices, the relevant output of lspci -vnn or, in the case of USB devices, lsusb -v . We're particularly interested in the subsystem ID's. To make a code block simply make the first character of each line a space. For example:

#  sudo lspci -vvnn -s 04:07
