   1 Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
   2 =================================================
   3
   4   Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
   5   frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
   6   changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
   7   are also available in versions with different frontends for
   8   DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately.
   9
  10   Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
  11   out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.
  12
  13   Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
  14   tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
  15   the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
  16   shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.
