It is loaded automatically as it is done always. There is no drivers = that needs firmware loaded manually. Everyone driver will load firmware = automatically. But if you mean that if firmware is coming from kernel - answer is = almost 100% no. Firmware is almost always needed to install manually = from somewhere on the net or from via package manager depending on your = distribution. Installing firmware is not big issue and it is needed only = once. Installing drivers from source is more work... > Does the remote work with it too ?

It seems good. Maybe good, but will need also compiling drivers from source. > Which chip has best reception ? Thats not easy to say because it depends so many things. > BR, linuxcbon I haven't looked kernel sources but I have feeling that Artec T14BR = could be in the recent kernel. So my opinion as that take Artec and = probably you don't need to compile drivers from source. /antti > = > --- Antti Palosaari a =E9crit : > = >> linuxcbon wrote: >>> Hi all, >>> >>> I am planning to buy a DVB-T USB tuner but I am a little lost :-(. >>> I am interested in following products : >>> ARTEC T14BR >> works >> >>> AVERMEDIA AVERTV DVB-T VOLAR X >> no idea >> >>> PINNACLE PCTV DVB-T STICK >> there is many PCTV versions, most are working.
