A Few Notes Before you Begin

If you make a contibution and later find that your submission has been edited or moved to another area of the wiki, please don't feel offended. Everyone understands and appreciates the time and efforts you took, but bear in mind that a factual and well-organized resource for everyone interested in analog or digital TV is the ultimate aim of the LinuxTV wiki.

Submitters should also know that, to keep the information contained in the wiki free, all contributions are automatically licensed under the GNU General Public License GPL. If you wish, you may specify in each case that your contribution is dual-licensed under the MIT License. Please do not reproduce or submit copyrighted works without obtaining the express consent of the owner or its agent.

Just toying

Would like to try to setup a table for the chipsets using templates such that, with using logic to define relevant fields, we have all the data contained in one spot (I guess much like Henrik was doing with the DVB-T USB stuff), but can then parse the info for display in relevant articles, such that there isn't duplication. Present duplication example:

**A Sortable List of Chipsets**
Vendor	Chipset	Tuner	Analog Demodulator	Digital Demodulator	Standard	Modulation Schemes	A/V decoder	MPEG encoder	MPEG decoder	Interface chipset	Bridge Type	DVB support	Linux Support	Associated Kernel Modules	Firmware	Comments
Afatech	AF9005	✘ No	✘ No	✔ Yes	DVB-T	COFDM	✘ No	✘ No	✘ No	✔ Yes	USB	✔ Yes	✔ Yes	?	✔ Yes	A combo USB bridge & demod IC

Misc Info & ideas for me:

Colours

Tables
