The data contained in this template will sooner or later replace the collection of tables in the DVB-T_USB Devices article.

With the help of the ParserFunctions extention it will also be possible to select subsets of the data for other purposes. E.g. The devices that use a certain tuner or the devices by a certain vendor.

Semantics

"renderwith" is the template that the data is passed to for rendering (a table row)
"vendor" the device manufacturer/vendor. E.g. Hauppauge
"device" the device name. E.g. Cinergy XXS
"supported" support status.
   {{yes}} or {{no}} if there is no further detail but I'd prefer something like 
   {{Supported_in_Kernel|version=2.6.25}} if supported by vanilla kernel since "version"
   {{Supported_in_HG|since=2009-01-31}} for support in main line mercurial repository
   {{Supported_in_HG_Branch|since=2009-01-31|branchurl=http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/}}
   {{Supported_in_External|since=2009-01-31|url=http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Em2880}}
"pic" preferably an image uploaded to the wiki (using 120px width). links to (not embedding of) external pictures are ok in a pinch, but those might disappear any time. Some vendors only keep the current devices on their page and every older Device vanishes. Please do not upload pictures that you downloaded from a vendor page without asking for permission to use it here. Taking a picture of a device that you own is the better choice.
"url" link to the manufacturers/vendors page for that device. but also links to linux user experience pages, forum articles or mailing list achives regarding this device.
"type" interface supported. E.g. USB1.1 or USB2.0 (put USB1.1 first if the device supports both)
"hw" summary of the hardware (human readable). this will hold the old data during transition and also allow to add hw related information beyond tuner, demodulator and usb bridge.
"usb id" usb id. 4 hex digits, colon, 4 hex digits. lower case. e.g. 12ba:f001 preferably only add the "cold" id. The one shown before firmware upload. The warm Id should go the the device's page.
  • "tuner"
  • "demodulator"
  • "usbbridge"
machine readable component names for implementing filters based on this in the future. E.g. af9015, vt7045, mt2060
"fw" firmware name. link?
"comment" human readable comments. if those comments stretch several lines, it is time to make a device page. :-)
