What is the difference between the 6980 and 6981?

Hi Cody

I'm interested to know what the difference is between the 6980 and 6981? The specifications seem to be identical. Is it just a revised board layout, EEPROM upgrade, or something of that nature?

Thanks

TBS6981 and 6980 use exactly the same NXP/Trident CX24132+CX24117 tuner chips and CX23885 PCIe bridge chip. The difference is that TBS6981 use optimized PCB layout and circuit scheme.
