People usually say it is a rebrand/clone of KNC1+, but it's not. :) There are couple of differences -- Mystique is a lighter version missing these features: 1) Signal passthrough via loop-out connector 2) Video input port for analogue capture I'm glad you reminded me of this misconception, the differences might be important for somebody. I was considering Mystique for myself, but chose CX24116 over STB0899, because this time, I wanted official support. I don't need analogue capture and CI anyway (I use softcam and for analog, much better Hauppauge PVR-500). I suggest Mystique instead of KNC1+ for purely practical reasons - it's more available, cheaper and nicer. :) -- Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
