Frontend drivers

.. note::

  #) There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
     out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.

  #) 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.
