Full support is included in kernel 2.6.16.
I bought this card to replace an AverMedia 761 that never worked reliably for me. The Kworld gives me much better reception and seems to work reliably with kernel 2.6.12

It was pretty hard to find this card in Sweden. I finally managed to buy it from http://www.microstore.se/. They call the card "V-Stream TV-kort för Marksänd DigitalTV, PCI" and make no mention of neither KWorld nor Xpert.

User Comments

I bought this card to replace an AverMedia 761 that never worked reliably for me. The Kworld gives me much better reception
and seems to work reliably  with kernel 2.6.12
It was pretty hard to find this card in Sweden. I finally managed to buy it from http://www.microstore.se/. They call the card
"V-Stream TV-kort för  Marksänd DigitalTV, PCI" and make no mention of neither KWorld nor Xpert.
