The KWorld ATSC 110 is an ATSC PCI card, and is supported under Linux (added to kernel 2.6.17).

Note: There is currently also an ATSC 110 page in the v4l wiki that contains some other info, which will eventually be merged together with the contents of this page

Overview

Kworld Model No.VS-ATSC110R is a dual RF input pci card that comes with a remote & IR-receiver. It supports both analog (NTSC) and Digital (8-VSB and 256-QAM) sources.

The card should be auto-recognized, and with the firmware properly loaded, the relevant output from dmesg should be similar to:

Firmware

This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw1) for the demodulator, which can be obtained using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included in the kernel sources:

# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware nxt2004

Once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory. (This directory may differ with some distros; consult your distro's documentation for the appropriate location).

Note 1: All devices that use the Nxt2004 demodulator are currently using a firmware version from the AVerTVHD MCE A180. As the firmware's code has not been discerned, it is unclear whether other firmwares for the Nxt2004 would have any affect on reception performance.
