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.
