+Other elements of the tvcards array
+===================================
+
+If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
+know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for:
+
+video_inputs    - # of video inputs the card has
+audio_inputs    - historical cruft, not used any more.
+tuner           - which input is the tuner
+svhs            - which input is svhs (all others are labled composite)
+muxsel          - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
+pll             - same as pll= insmod option
+tuner_type      - same as tuner= insmod option
+*_modulename    - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
+                  module loaded to work properly.
+
+If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
+insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.
+
+
+
 Good luck,
