Is this intended to be a full list of cards that work?

If so, I have two cards that are sold in Australia by Digital Now to add, The DNTV Live series. I'm happly using an older version of a DNTV on Fedora Core 3 with the latest released kernel. I've used a DNTV Live Lite at work. (I think all the lite version does is remove the S-Video in capablity).

Hauppauge HVR-1300?

When will the Hauppauge HVR-1300 -tv-card work with VDR? Urvabara 21:47, 7 Dec 2005 (CET)

When will it work, full stop? --Pepsi max2k 15:39, 21 May 2006 (CEST) Ok, I've seen Steven Toth's been working on the 1300 and it works in a patch. So you just need to know how to patch things I guess. No good for me then... :o( --Pepsi max2k 23:33, 3 June 2006 (CEST)

Basic support has been added to the main source. You can install it by using the instructions here [1] Hydra3 02:32, 21 September 2006 (CEST)

PCI 2.1/2.2

I'm currently trying to find one of these cards that'll work with PCI 2.1 - I guess it'd be useful extra info for some people, but I haven't added my findings yet as I don't want to disrupt the page too much.

Do you think it'd work best as an extra page, linked to off this one, or just a note at the bottom of each card listing which PCI version it needs?

From Arny: I think PCI version info is highly usefull. As a mythtv backend server need no mpeg decoding, an older cpu+mainboard (pci<2.2) with budget card(s) may be perfectly suitable peformance-wise. I myself got bitten by pci version incompatibility, and I had looked for this info here and in other places and had not found anything.

Also I think this info doesn't require a page on its own. Its is more concise to keep it in the notes. --Arny 17:10, 12 January 2007 (CET)

Tidy-up

Gah, that took ages. Everything is now in alphabetical order by brand, and then chronological order by card. All the cards that were sharing one entry are now separated out. All the Connectors and Notes entries are now bullet-pointed. Various spelling and grammatical improvements have been applied.
On a less visible level, there's a gap between each entry in the Wiki code, to improve readability for editing. I don't think I did anything else - hopefully people'll notice the conventions I've introduced and respect them!
