Can someone give me advice on which of these PCI TV tuner cards I should buy for use on Linux ? All are from a similar price range, but I do not know how they compare in terms of Linux support and picture quality. - Leadtek DTV 1800H A relatively cheap card based on CX2388x and XC3028 (?). I read it is a good value for the price, and may be supported on Linux, although some tricks/patches could be needed to get it to work. - Leadtek DTV 2000H Similar to the above card, but is an older model, the tuner is an FMD1216 in a tin can, and it is somewhat more expensive. Is that only because of more bundled Windows software, or is the different tuner a better one quality-wise ? How does the Linux support compare ? - AVerMedia Hybrid PCI+FM (A16AR or A16D) I think the cards currently available with this name are the newer A16D version, which uses SAA713x and XC3028. I would assume it is not a better card than the DTV 1800H, but the SAA713x is better supported on Linux ? - AVerMedia Studio 703 (M17H) This is an analogue-only card (not necessarily a problem, since not many DVB-T channels can be received where I live), and the only information I found about it is that it uses a "Philips/NXP" chipset. It is not included in the CARDLIST files of the kernel, so maybe it is not supported on Linux ? -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
