Hello list, I got last week a dvb-s card called Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S [A700] ... I thought linux will get it to work... since the saa7134 chipset, which was advertised, is well supported :) But it wasn't :( Here are some notes, which are also located @ www.mcmilk.de/projects/dvb-card/ Avermedia AVerTV DVB-S Pro [A700] ================================= These are the Semiconductors on the card what | description ----------------+----------------------------------------------------- SAA7135HL/203 | Audio & Video broadcast decoder (SAA7134HL_4.pdf) Avermedia xyz | ???

Can this card provide the /dev/radio interface ? How should the DVB Frontend be added ... is 0x1c the lgdt330x frontend ? Maybe some more questions ... but they will come later ;P Can someone help me on that card ? -- regards, TR _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
