Re: Difference between budget-ci and budget-av

Hi,

Thank you for your explanation.

I am currently using budget-ci from linux 2.6.18, which version of budget-ci should i get?
Can anyone point me to latest version of budget-ci that works with TT C1500?

Also, I am thinking of switching  my card to either Tetratec Cinergy 1200 or Satelco which I have read performs very well under QAM 256. Have anyone tried this cards under Linux 2.6.18?

Thank you.

Regards,
HY

They are drivers for different cards. budget-ci is the driver for Technotrend
C1500 among others. budget-av is used for e.g. KNC1.

This is because of a bug in the driver. It might work if you upgrade the driver
to the latest version, which has a fix for the QAM 256 problem. However, if your
card has two antenna connectors, it might not work anyway because of a different
problem (which I have too).
