The Common Interface is not yet supported by the LinuxTV drivers, but only by the closed source drivers under RedHat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20).
The Common Interface is also supported by the LinuxTV drivers.


The card is believed to support almost all major CAM's. No separate initialization required for different CAM's, since all the initialization is done in the ASIC's firmware.
