Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
=================================================

  Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
  frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
  changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
  are also available in versions with different frontends for
  DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed separately.

  Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
  out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.

  Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
  tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
  the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
  shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.
