I have the newer AverMedia AVerTV DVB-T 771, and it works just fine -
but requires CVS video4linux, dvb-kernel, and a few other useful
patches (which I don't *think* are in CVS yet - haven't checked
myself). So, consider it new, bleeding edge, and OK, if you're not
afraid of some kernel compilation, CVS building, and patch applying.
(Disclaimer: I'm a user, not a developer - but I got it working just
fine.)

The older AverMedia card (661??) used a different/older front-end, so
is better supported, but requires a stronger source signal - take with
a big grain of salt; this info's just what I've deduced from various
posts around the place and could be complete bollocks. ^_^
