[linux-dvb] DVB-T in Australia

[Malcolm Caldwell <malcolm.caldwell@ntu.edu.au>]

As far as I know no one has got DVB-T to work in Australia.  I know this
has been talked about before but there has been no definite answer. 

There are people here reporting on the aus.tv.digital newsgroup that the
DVB-T cards that are available do not work here.

There seems to be a few potential/actual problems:
1. In most places in Australia DVB-T is being brodcast on VHF channels
2. It would seem that as Australia uses 7Mhz channels (PAL-B) in the UHF band
   where as most countries use 8Mhz channels in UHF (PAL-G)
3  Others I perhaps don't know about.

Now, luckily, I live in a city where all the digital broadcasts are on
UHF channels, so problem 1 goes away!

So how about 2?

If I understand correctly the nova and the tecnotrends DVB-T cars are
essentially the same?

I would guess that the specifications for the tuner chips used on these
cards would answer these questions.  If so can someone (convergence?)
have a look?  Or at least point me at the specs for the cards?
