Hence we need two PCI ID entries for everything, each pair pointing back to the same card data. Then, card types. The analog-only and "hybrid" have one single tuner, for DVB-T or analog. The "Duo" cards have two tuner frontends, one for DVB-T and the other for analog. "Trio" cards add a DVB-S frontend, which cannot be used at the same time as the DVB-T frontend. Like the Duo, these can run one digital and one analog stream in parallel. Finally, card shapes. Each card type comes in CardBus, PCI, and MiniPCI shape. The flavors are compatible, so that again, the PCI ID data point back to the same card entry for e.g. the PCI and CardBus Duo. The card type/shape combinations are distinctly identified by their subsystem ID. No need to guesstimate anything. That's the plan at least. regards, Peter -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
