 2) What is the Bristol reference ? ...  I changed it on the wiki
 page
 to read that it is a reference board design (just a guess), but I'm
 not
 sure if that's right or where this Bristol bit is even coming from.

this is apparently the code name to the engineering design. It is all
over the driver's code.

It could probably be safely dropped from the wiki page, it must only
concern the coders.


 
 3) Does this card support the diversity feature ...


No.

The PCI card that supports the diversity feature is NOT supported, and
this has a full section dedicated to it.

what version of the page are you looking at ?



  how about other
 devices like
 - http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-Stick
 - http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick
 
 IIRC, Patrick mention something about the diversity feature not set in
 the Linux driver yet, but that the dual mode works. But to which
 devices
 does this apply. 

I'll let others answer that. I'm selfishly focusing on the T-500. :o)

Just a tiny bit of work in return for the huge amount of work given by
the devs.

I had jotted a few notes down the other day and just got a chance to
address these questions...I only glanced at the page today

excellent

No -- its an interesting tidbit and the wiki pages are for all (end
users ans coders alike).  My only concern was whether that bit was
relevant to the device or not.  As it is, it can certainly stay.

 3) Does this card support the diversity feature ...
 


 No.

 The PCI card that supports the diversity feature is NOT supported, and
 this has a full section dedicated to it.

Now that was a bit of a bonehead on my part given that I set up that
section (based on the info you and others have provided).

  how about other
 devices like

No problem.  I'm not familiar with the devices ... [nor do I really want
to become more familiar with them given the closest DVB-T transmission
to me is likely some four and a half thousand KM away :D ] ... hence,
I'm hoping to prompt those who ARE familiar (and know to which devices
Patrick was referring) can add the appropriate info.

Cheers (and thanks for the good work in the wiki)
