+Suppported cards:
+
+
+Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 cards
+------------------------------------
+
+All cards with Bt848/Bt848a/Bt849/Bt878/Bt879 and normal Composite/S-VHS inputs
+are supported.
+Teletext and Intercast support (PAL only) via VBI samples decoding in software.
+
+Some cards with additional multiplexing of inputs are only partially 
+supported (unless specifications by the card manufacturer are given).
+
+All other cards only differ by additional components as tuners, sound decoders,
+EEPROMs, teletext decoders ...
+
+Tuner and sound decoder support for Bt878/879 is not fully working yet.

+MV-Delta
+- Bt848A
+- 4 Composite inputs, 1 S-VHS input (shared with 4th composite)
+- EEPROM

+
+This card has no tuner but supports all 4 composite (1 shared with an
+S-VHS input) of the Bt848A.
+Very nice card if you only have satellite TV but several tuners connected
+to the card via composite.
+
+Many thanks to Matrix-Vision for giving us 2 cards for free which made
+Bt848a/Bt849 single crytal operation support possible!!!
+
+
+
+Miro/Pinnacle PCTV
+------------------
+
+- Bt848 
+  some (all??) come with 2 crystals for PAL/SECAM and NTSC 
+- PAL, SECAM or NTSC TV tuner (Philips or TEMIC)
+- MSP34xx sound decoder on add on board
+  decoder is supported but AFAIK does not yet work 
+  (other sound MUX setting in GPIO port needed??? somebody who fixed this???)
+- 1 tuner, 1 composite and 1 S-VHS input
+- tuner type is autodetected

+
+
+Many thanks for the free card which made first NTSC support possible back
+in 1997!
+
+
+Hauppauge Win/TV pci
+--------------------
+
+There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with different 
+tuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.
+Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the revision)
+different chips on it.
+
+- Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)
+  newer cards have a Bt878, I2C support for it is still experimental 
+- PAL, SECAM, NTSC or tuner with or without Radio support
+
+e.g.:
+  PAL: 
+  TDA5737: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
+  TSA5522: 1.4 GHz I2C-bus controlled synthesizer, I2C 0xc2-0xc3
+  
+  NTSC:
+  TDA5731: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR 3-band tuners
+  TSA5518: no datasheet available on Philips site
+- Philips SAA5246 or SAA5284 ( or no) Teletext decoder chip	
+  with buffer RAM (e.g. Winbond W24257AS-35: 32Kx8 CMOS static RAM)
+  SAA5246 (I2C 0x22) is supported
+- 256 bytes EEPROM: Microchip 24LC02B or Philips 8582E2Y 
+  with configuration information
+  I2C address 0xa0 (24LC02B also responds to 0xa2-0xaf)
+- 1 tuner, 1 composite and (depending on model) 1 S-VHS input
+- 14052B: mux for selection of sound source
+- sound decoder: TDA9800, MSP34xx (stereo cards)
