mplayer works on all my cards including the 310i for DVB-T and DVB-S
since years. Guess you miss something or have a broken checkout.

Best is to add them to the wiki, else upload somewhere else or post off
list.

Remote and IR sensor look the same like mine on the 310i, but they still
might have changed something and you are by far not the first reporting
the remote not working on newer devices. BTW, mine seems not to work on
vista with the Pinnacle media software.

Here is the problem. The supported cards do have the i2c chip at 0x47 or
0x8e in 8bit notation. Needs closer investigation.

Ah, thanks. Should have thought about it. Most radio apps are still
v4l1. Mplayer indeed works, tested with saa7134-alsa, as does "kradio",
just installed it again, both are v4l2.

So only all the v4l1 apps are broken.
