Hello,

I bought this USB card : AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) - 
http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=460&tab=APDriver.
I don't find anything relevant about using this card on linux.

Can I use this card on Linux ? How ?

Here is some information :

Hi,
I bought an AverMedia Volar Black HD too.
I opened it, i can confirm the device contains a AF9015N1 chip and a
MXL5003S tuner.


I think there was something missing your diff Antti :

seems that the tuner did not work :
