a SAA7146-based DVB-C PCI Card produced and sold by TerraTec. Uses the Philips CU1216 tuner module, well-supported by the Linux driver. CI-Interface is assembled on some cards, but not yet supported.

NOTE: The newest version of these cards is not yet supported. If "lspci -v" tells you exactly "Subsystem: TERRATEC Electronic GmbH Unknown device 1176", you have one of these.[1][2]

This card is able to deliver the full MPEG2 Transport Stream to the host.

The driver had problems (distorded transmission) with some multiplexes, but they have been fixed today (2005-03-08), confirmed by at least two users.

The Linux driver in Kernel 2.6.11.10 does not lock on all multiplexes of the Berlin cable network (Telecolumbus frequency allocation), e.g. this one locks immediately:

 10 Das Erste:410000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6900000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:101:102:28106
 10 Das Erste: f 410000000, s 6900000, i 2, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x65, a 0x66

and this one not at all:
