This page is specific to the:

 Sabrent PCI TV Tuner Card 7130
 TV-PCIRC01061000290
 UPC 1 88218 00082 8
 Item Code: TV-PCIRC

If you have a different model of Sabrent TV-PCIRC card - well, good luck. They rebadged 
pretty much anyone's overstock tuner card, so buyer beware.

The 'MPEG4' feature advertized on the box is software only. There is no hardware MPEG support
on the device.

= I just want it to work under Linux! =

Use the audio-pass through cable. The remote control (mostly) works, and the card tunes NTSC.

Try one of the following:

 modprobe saa7134 card=28 tuner=2 # (maybe tuner=32 for PAL?)
 
 modprobe saa7134 card=67 tuner=2 # (maybe tuner=32 for PAL?)

= Things on The Card =

== Encoder/PCI Bridge ==

Clearly labelled, it's a [http://www.evillabs.net/datasheet/Philips/SAA7130HL.pdf Philips SAA7130HL].

== Tuner ==
If you peel away (carefully!) the OEM label, the 'tin can' tuner has a sticker that says:

   SAMSUNG
 TCPN9082DC270(T)
 - - - - - - - -
 030527    AIO

The tuner is on i2C bus address 0x60 (which is a pretty standard place for the tuner to be)

== Crystals ==

One '''4.000''' and one '''32.110'''

== The Mystery IR Chip ==

18-pin package, label removed.

Some sort of IR decoder.

== Remote Control ==

Oddly enough, the remote control keymap is ''almost'' like the sedna keymap, but not quite:
