[".cobnet" <278656@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It took me some time to be able to make my "AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM"
pci-card to work. The chip on the card mentions "AVerMedia A16D-C" and
SAA7135. I tried to make it work on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, but
failed, until I found this page. After installing linux-firmware-
nonfree, it just worked. I add this comment, so that others that have
the same card will find this page more quickly.

I hope that the rest of my HTPC experience will go more smoothly.
