A [[DVB-T]] [[DVB-T PCI Cards|PCI card]] produced by [[AVerMedia]].

This card is supported under Linux, having since been added to kernel 2.6.26.

Note: There are actually two different [[AVerMedia]] cards that bear the identical name "AVerTV Hybrid+FM PCI", so one must be careful to distinguish between this one, the [[AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM PCI (A16D)|A16D]], and the other, the [[AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM PCI (A16AR)|A16AR]].

==Overview/Features==


===Components Used===
The A16D model consists of the following hardware components:
* Xceive XC3028 (tuner & analog demodulator)
* Philips SAA7135HL (A/V decoder)
* Zarlink MT352 (DVB-T demodulator)

===Identification===
If you have an A16D correctly detected then "<tt>sudo lspci -vvnn</tt>" should be similar to:

AVerMedia A16D Front

A DVB-T PCI card produced by AVerMedia.

This card is supported under Linux, having since been added to kernel 2.6.26.

Note: There are actually two different AVerMedia cards that bear the identical name "AVerTV Hybrid+FM PCI", so one must be careful to distinguish between this one, the A16D, and the other, the A16AR.

Overview/Features

Components Used

The A16D model consists of the following hardware components:

  • Xceive XC3028 (tuner & analog demodulator)
  • Philips SAA7135HL (A/V decoder)
  • Zarlink MT352 (DVB-T demodulator)

Identification

If you have an A16D correctly detected then "sudo lspci -vvnn" should be similar to:

(Example from Ubuntu 8.04 using 2.6.24-19-generic x86_64)
