I'll second that, I have a pair of Avermedia 771's as well, they worked (after activating DVB) without any hassle using KnoppMyth R5A15...

I don't remember seeing any firmware mentioned anywhere...

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that I've read that the Avermedia card needs a firmware-file to be uploaded by hotplug. I wanted to have a card that worx with OSS software only.

I have a couple of avermedia dvb 771's that work out of the box in 2.6.13 (with the right dvb options turned on in the kernel ;-)). I found them fairly cheap and work well.

I had a pinnacle card that had problems with it and the mt352 driver so i would stay away from them.

 I am a beginner in DVB-T, and I would like to buy a DVB-T

        PCI Card to set up a MythTV in my Linux PC.

I have tried to search the archive and google for a week, but

        I still cannot come to a final decision about it.

 I would like to ask what kind of DVB-T PCI Card is suitable

        for the Linux kernel 2.6.13, as I found some of the articles
        about DVB-T Card mentioned that "Not every card that's
        supported under Windows works under Linux". Is the list
        mentioned in linuxtv.org <http://linuxtv.org>
        "http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_devices_DVB-T";
        <http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCI_devices_DVB-T%22> be
        suitable for linux use? And be able to be well supported by
        DVBAPI?

 On the other hand, I would like to ask what aspect should I

        put my focus on in choosing those card? I do not want to buy a
        wrong card as they are not cheap :P


    Nova-T seems as well suported as any and is fairly cheap.

        I have 2 V-Stream Xtreme DTcards that work a treat.
