Support for SAA7146 and AV7110 based DVB cards as produced by Fujitsu-Siemens, Technotrend, Hauppauge and others. This driver only supports the fullfeatured cards with onboard MPEG2 decoder. This driver needs an external firmware. Please use the script "<kerneldir>/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware av7110" to download/extract it, and then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware or /lib/firmware (depending on configuration of firmware hotplug). Alternatively, you can download the file and use the kernel's EXTRA_FIRMWARE configuration option to build it into your kernel image by adding the filename to the EXTRA_FIRMWARE configuration option string. Say Y if you own such a card and want to use it.
The AV7110 firmware provides some code to generate an OnScreenDisplay on the video output. This is kind of nonstandard and not guaranteed to be maintained. Anyway, some popular DVB software like VDR uses this OSD to render its menus, so say Y if you want to use this software. All other people say N.
Support for simple SAA7146 based DVB cards (so called Budget- or Nova-PCI cards) without onboard MPEG2 decoder.
Support for simple SAA7146 based DVB cards (so called Budget- or Nova-PCI cards) without onboard MPEG2 decoder, and without analog inputs or an onboard Common Interface connector. Say Y if you own such a card and want to use it. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called budget.
Support for simple SAA7146 based DVB cards (so called Budget- or Nova-PCI cards) without onboard MPEG2 decoder, but with onboard Common Interface connector. Note: The Common Interface is not yet supported by this driver due to lack of information from the vendor. Say Y if you own such a card and want to use it. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called budget-ci.
Support for simple SAA7146 based DVB cards (so called Budget- or Nova-PCI cards) without onboard MPEG2 decoder, but with one or more analog video inputs. Say Y if you own such a card and want to use it. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called budget-av.
Support for Budget Patch (full TS) modification on SAA7146+AV7110 based cards (DVB-S cards). This driver doesn't use onboard MPEG2 decoder. The card is driven in Budget-only mode. Card is required to have loaded firmware to tune properly. Firmware can be loaded by insertion and removal of standard AV7110 driver prior to loading this driver. Say Y if you own such a card and want to use it. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called budget-patch.
