Introduction

LifeView's FlyTV Platinum cards have the Phillips SAA7135 chip with a global tuner that supports the NTSC, PAL BG/DK/I, and SECAM LL' video standards. Audio support includes NiCAM, A2, BTSC/MTS, and EIA-J.

There are several variants. These have the tda8275 and tda8290 tuner chips:

  • the FlyTV Low Profile FM card (shown in picture)
  • the FlyTV Platinum35 FM card (there's also a non-FM variant)
  • the FlyTV Platinum Mini is shipped with a number of laptops (PCB LR212 or LR315, subsystem 5168:1212)

The more recent laptop version has a different tuner (add details here if you have them):

  • the FlyTV Platinum Mini2

Support under Linux appears to be good, thanks to patches submitted by Peter Misses to the 2.6.12 kernel (I've not tested any of the cards myself yet).
