[mythtv-users] how to know the tuner type of PVR 350 PAL? tveeprom does not help

[Mark J. Small]

The best way to determine what tuner you have is to look at the markings on 
the actual card.  On most TV cards, the actual tuner is in a big metal 
shielding box.  Look for some hints on this metal box.  You may have to 
remove a sticker added by your card manufacturer.  

Note:   I'm too cheap to get any of the fancy PVR cards, so everything that 
I'm saying here may be completely wrong for you.

Hope this helps,

Mark
