As I originally posted the quoted email below, I might be able to help you.

firstly: lsusb is located in the usbutils package so you may need to 
install it, or you need to prefix the command with its location
i.e. /sbin/lsusb. Please try this first and post the result back to the 
list. (with the -v option please)

secondly in reference to my patch below.
I never heard anything more from the list about it and I have no reason 
to believe it was ever incorporated as a patch. I suspect this dongle is 
a variant sold only in Australia (where you and I are from obviously) 
and so the demand is relatively small - thus no one else was interested. 
I posted more for people like yourself for whom my fix may help.

The only thing this patch did is add an extra identifier so that the 
dongle was recognized. Now that said, I suspect there is an even more 
recent variant released in the last 2/3 months (right after I bought 
mine :( ) which may have a different identifier again. So the result of 
lsusb is even more important.

Unfortunately I got distracted after I got my dongle recognized and 
haven't made it fully work yet (with MythTv) - but if you are interested 
I might have another go at it.

I also note the large number of dibcom related posts in recent months 
which will have a direct bearing on this dongle. So recent versions of 
the dvb code are essential.

Cheers,
J
