4. Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB driversΒΆ
Note
This documentation is outdated. Please check at the DVB wiki at https://linuxtv.org/wiki for more updated info.
Please look at https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information for an updated list of supported cards.
Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards are also available in versions with different frontends for DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed separately.
Note
- There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.
- The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.
