It looks like this box is the only DVB-C USB 2.0 device working with Linux.
I cannot find any distributor in Germany, so I am willing to order it from 
other europe countrys where I can pay in Euro currency. 

If anyone knows a respectable webshop in his country which can deliver it, 
feel free to contact me directly.

Got one in sweden (Elgiganten, 1000 SEK iirc), but the card reader (CA/CI
thing) turned out to be unsupported. Reading the kernel sources for the driver,
i found a comment indicating that the CA/CI reader was not (yet) supported.

Luckily, Elgiganten had a free 30 day return policy, so I returned mine.

Anysee have standard ISO 7816 card reader interface + SoftCAM in the 
driver. I did not implemented card reader due to lack of time & 
interest. It probably needs own driver module for card reader and there 
is no very similar module that can be used of base of the mode. However 
I did some protocol reverse-engineering and those results can be found from:
http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/anysee_ca_iso7816_protocol.txt
Feel free to implement smart card reader module :)

This device is rather common in Finland and Sweden. Also found from 
Netherlands and Latvia.

Antti

Am I right in understanding that all information required to drive the driver 
is available? No lack of specs? I was thinking that we mught want to forward
it to the gregkh. He once put up an offer to write drivers for any hw if specs 
were provided.

I'm afaraid that's beyond my skill level. :-(

So, there should be some interest in getting it supported. Here in Sweden it's 
the only DVB-C I've seen available on stores.

No, there is no specs available. I did current driver by 
reverse-engineering. Reverse-engineering USB-protocol is not usually 
very bad task.

In Finland all DVB-T/C versions are sold (DVB-S/S2 version also exists, 
but not in Finland)

I forget to version in question, E30C.
http://hintaseuranta.fi/tuote.aspx/52497

E30 Combo Plus is also available. It does have both DVB-T and DVB-C 
receivers and it is slightly expensive than other models. E30 Combo does 
work DVB-C mode by default, DVB-T mode can be selected using module 
param. I wish if someone could implement multi frontend support...

Hi Antti,

Any chance we can persuade you to create the driver? I'm on the ComHem Swedish 
cable operator myself, and would be happy to assist with debugging etc. 
Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start a usb reverse engineering task 
myself as a solo activity. :-(

Regards,
/Anders
