The AVerMedia AVerTVHD MCE A180 is an ATSC PCI card, and is supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.15).

This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw1) for the demodulator, which can be obtained using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included in the kernel sources:

# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware nxt2004

Once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).


Note 1: All devices that use the Nxt2004 demodulator are currently using a firmware version from the AVerTVHD MCE A180.


Note: An AVerMedia press release (Jan 8 2007, CES) mentions them demonstrating an "updated AVerTVHD MCE A180". It does not indicate what updates have been made to the card.
