[mythtv] Supported Low Profile tv tuner cards?

[Andrew Peabody]

I have seen this card online.

http://www.lifeview.com.tw/eng/pro_fly_3100.html

It uses the Philips SAA7134 which should work fine in linux.

As the FlyVideo 3100 should be compatible with the supported FlyVideo 3000.

Let me know how it works out,

Andrew

>Low profile PCI allows the design of small footprint, low profile
>systems while still offering expandability and upgradeability to the end
>user. There are two defined card lengths for low profile PCI, MD1 and
>MD2. MD1 defines the shortest 32-bit card length available, 119,91 mm
>(4.721 inches). MD2 defines the maximum length of low profile PCI cards,
>167,64 mm (6.600 inches). Any low profile PCI card that is longer than
>the MD1 definition is considered an MD2 card form factor. The two card
>lengths allow system designers to support either all low profile PCI
>cards, which include MD1 and MD2, or limit their design to support only
>MD1 cards. Low profile PCI MD1 cards provide 4.8 square inches of board
>real estate and may be very limiting to adapter card vendors. Low
>profile PCI is intended for use in the smallest system designs. See
>Figures 5-XX through 5-XX for low profile PCI expansion card physical
>dimensions.

>Basically the same size as a regular tv tuner pci card but the bracket

>which is 5" tall.
