TerraTec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C

a SAA7146-based DVB-C PCI Card produced and sold by TerraTec. Uses the Philips CU1216 tuner module, well-supported by the Linux driver. CI-Interface is assembled on some cards, but not yet supported.

This card is able to deliver the full MPEG2 Transport Stream to the host.

The driver had problems (distorded transmission) with some multiplexes, but they have been fixed today (2005-03-08), confirmed by at least two users.

The Linux driver in Kernel 2.6.11.10 does not lock on all multiplexes of the Berlin cable network (Telecolumbus frequency allocation), e.g. this one locks immediately:

and this one not at all:
