New additions should be made in an article under the appropriate device category (e.g. DVB-T, ATSC,...)
and then classification (e.g. USB, PCI...) section; see:

The process of transferring all existing information on this page to the appropriate sections and/or individual card pages is already well under way.

DVB-T cards

Hauppauge/TT Nova-USB-t budget

(tda10046/Philips td1316(tda6651tt) OR cx22700/ALPS TDMB7(??))

 features: partialts
 board markings: "USB_DVB v1.92"
 card driver: ttusb-budget
 interface: USB1.1
 USB device id: 0b48:1005
 frontend possibility 1:
   tin box: Philips td1316
   frontend driver: tda1004x
   demodulator location: separate
   demodulator: Philips tda10046 @0x08
   PLL: Philips tda6651tt @ 0x60
 frontend possibility 2:
   tin box: ALPS TDMB7
   frontend driver: cx22700
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: cx22700 @0x43
   PLL: ?? @ 0x61
 Notes: Need to disable the MC44BC374 (i2c:0x65) for the Philips td1316.
        SAW filter is controlled by the tda10046's GPIO lines.
        This device has only one frontend - but there are two possibilities
        Although the hardware is capable of delivering the entire transport stream, the bandwidth of the USB bus prevents it

DVB-S cards

Hauppauge/TT Nova budget

(stv0299/ALPS BSRU6(tsa5059) OR ves1893/ALPS BSRV2(sp5659))

 features: fullts
 card driver: budget
 interface: PCI
 PCI device id: 1131:7146
 PCI subsystem id: 13c2:1003
 Bridge: Philips SAA7146A
 frontend possibility 1:
   tin box: ALPS BSRU6
   frontend driver: stv0299
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: ST stv0299b @0x68
   PLL: Philips tsa5059 @0x61
 frontend possibility 2: 
   tin box: ALPS BSRV2
   frontend driver: ves1x93
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: ves1893 @0x08
   PLL: Mitel sp5659 @0x61
 Notes: This card has only one frontend - but there are two possibilities

Hauppauge/TT Nova-CI budget

(stv0299/ALPS BSRU6(tsa5059))

 features: fullts
 card driver: budget-ci
 interface: PCI
 PCI device id: 1131:7146
 PCI subsystem id: 13c2:100c
 Bridge: Philips SAA7146A
 EEPROM: 2KB @0x50-0x5E (8x 256 bytes)
 frontend 1
   tin box: ALPS BSRU6
   frontend driver: stv0299
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: ST stv0299b @0x68
   PLL: Philips tsa5059 @0x61
 Notes: 

Hauppauge/TT Nova-CI budget

(stv0299b/Philips su1278(tsa5059))

 features: fullts,ci
 board markings: "B2S1100 Rev 1.0"
 card driver: budget-ci
 interface: PCI
 PCI device id: 1131:7146
 PCI subsystem id: 13c2:100f
 Bridge: Philips SAA7146A
 frontend 1:
   tin box: Philips su1278/sh
   frontend driver: stv0299
   demodulator location: tin box
   demodulator: ST stv0299b @0x68
   PLL: Philips tsa5059 @0x60
 Notes: There are two versions - one with the CI components, and one with them missing. 
        The one with them missing cannot support a CI interface.
        Some of these cards have problems with certain multiswitches which do not draw any
          current - tuning to a V polarity will gradually "drift" to the H 
          polarity. Sypmtom is initial good lock on V channel, with signal 
          loss/extreme errors within a few seconds. Recent (>mid 2004?) cards are fine.
