Saa713x devices

Introduction

TV cards based on the saa713x chips are well supported. The picture quality is typically high, and the sound can be taken directly from the TV card or through a patch cable to your sound card. On the text capture front, both teletext and NTSC closed captioning are supported.

For an excellent guide, see Gentoo wiki's HARDWARE saa7134. See also Philips saa datasheets

Supported cards

See the list of currently supported saa7134 devices.

(This page design seems the best one -- a link to the supported cards, but then a list of the cards by vendor below, with links for help. The bttv and cx88 pages should be redesigned along the same lines.)
