AVerMedia technologies has today announced that it has developed drivers for its Hybrid TV Tuner product range to support the following distributions of Linux; Fedora core3, Fedora core4, Mandriva and SUSE.

Currently only a hand-full of AVerMedia products are able to support Linux users but AVerMedia are dedicated to expanding availability.

The development of Linux support on its most popular products is yet another differentiator that shows that AVerMedia are at the forefront of the TV Tuner market. With over 300 global R&D staff, AVerMedia are pleased to be able to dedicate time and resources to support a community that is often overlooked.

‘We are developing these in response to the demands of the Linux community as part of our commitment to offering complete solutions for the market’, says, Jon Rainford, Multimedia product manager, AverMedia, UK. ‘Linux is an ideal base for PVR solutions for the more advanced user and we have developed drivers for the most popular distributions. We plan to develop similar support for other products in our range over the next 12 months.
