It has got similar chips to these cards you got. The most noticable (physically that is, I've got very little clue what each one does) SAA7131E TDA10046A 8275AC1 HT24LC02 24LC2561 With recent drivers I've got no luck trying to get card funtioning, usually resulting in some issues with firmware loading. I'm running now on ubuntu 8.04 but booting with 2.6.20-13 kernel and stock ubuntu drivers. This setup works most of the time but requires reloading drivers after first (dvb-t) use of card, and often after a few days and some recordings signal level drops to 0%. Any attempt to try using analog, which is not working now but used to, results in Frontend initialisation failure for dvb, only rectified by powering down computer. I've got very limited technological skills in this area but am quite willing to do some testing if I can help.
