OK

How do we discover what chipset the card has then?

Kind Regards

Please bear in mind that there are *DOZENS* of different KWorld products,
many of them named "Dual DVB-T PCI TV Card".  It is commonplace for vendors
to come out with new versions of a card with a completely different chipset
while keeping the same base product name.

In other words, if you are going to write anything on the LinuxTV Wiki,
please be specific, including the PCI/USB ID of the device.

You cannot make any assumptions about other cards a vendor sells, or other
people's experiences with similar cards, since the only factor that effects
the quality of support for a given card is the quality of the drivers for
the underlying chipsets.

Saying things like "KWorld USB product XYZ works well therefore random
KWorld card ABC I want to buy should work fine" is completely invalid.

Cheers,

Devin
