+Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
+=================================================
+
+  Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
+  frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
+  changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
+  are also available in versions with different frontends for
+  DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately.
+
+  Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
+  out-of-the box with every card, because of different wiring.
+
+  Note 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.
+
