6.5.14.2. Frontend drivers

Note

  1. There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.

  2. The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.
