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.

Stupid templates
The "click" way:
| Template:Click | User info How to install your hardware, and software to use it with |
Template:Click | Hardware & Components Information on Hardware devices and related components |
| Template:Click | Technical Background Technical details, standards, etc |
Template:Click | Developer Section Information to help device driver development |
The "Extention:ImageMap" way:
| <imagemap>Image:User_Info_icon.png|48x48px
rect 0 0 50 50 User info desc none</imagemap> |

Just toying -- going 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:
| 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 |
