A Hybrid DVB-T PCI card from AVerMedia.

It is currently not supported under Linux. However, experimental support exists (see below for details).

Overview/Features

The card has Antenna In and IR receiver inputs, and comes with a remote control.

Components Used

  • Philips 8275AC1 (tuner)
  • Philips TDA10046A (demodulator)
  • Philips SAA7131E (analog IF demodulator, A/V decoder & PCI bridge)

Making it Work

Firmware

Firmware is required with this device; use the updated get_dvb_firmware script or use the file "TT_PCI_2.19h_28_11_2006/software/OEM/PCI/App/ttlcdacc.dll" contained in http://technotrend-online.com/download/software/219/TT_PCI_2.19h_28_11_2006.zip, which you'll have to rename to /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-tda10046.fw.

Drivers

As of January 25, 2008: DVB-T works fine with modules from the Mercurial (hg) repository. The chipset should support Analog also, but that isn't working yet.

After installing the drivers from the Mercurial repository you will have to run:

rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134

Sample kernel output

dmesg output (with modules built from the Mercurial repository):
