There are 2 versions of this card, version 'I' & version 'J'. According various forums, version 'I' works out of the box, yet the later version 'J' needs some tinkering. Apparently version J was made to be compatible with Vista, so if you can avoid the box thats says Vista ready!

'''Version J Setup'''

Although this card does not work out of the box with a little tinkering you can quite easily get the Digital tuner to work in LinuxMCE. There is a patch available to get both the analogue and digital tuners but it looked a little too complex for my liking.

Anyway, to get the digital tuner to work you will need to follow 3 simple steps:

1. Configure linux to load the module cx88-dvb automatically on start-up using the command: sudo echo "cx88-dvb" >> /etc/modules
This will add the line cx88-dvb to the file /etc/modules.

2. Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/options file and add the line:
options cx88xx card=51

This will tell mythtv exactly what type of card you are using.

3. In Mythtv-setup, under capture cards, select 'DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)' for the card type. Set 'DVB Card Number' to 0 ( for the first card, 1 for 2nd card etc)

Based on the emu10k1 driver, this sound card worked fine with 710Beta3, everything seemed to be plug and play
This card is well documented on the alsa project website (see link below)

I was unable to test the the S/PDIF out on this card, so if anyone has tested this, please add your experiences here. According to the Alsa Project site this should work though.
