Hello everybody,

I have been trying for years now to get support for usb based devices
that makes it possible to watch FTA dvb-t channels in Europa.

I have bought more then 6 devices already and none of them work with the
stock vanilla kernel (or with fedora, debian kernel packages)

I had hopes for the em28xx drivers, and spent a lots of time in the last
years to Markus Rechberger. I made documentation did testing, compiled
packages, did a lot of mailing and irc chats, etcetera.

I always hoped the code and work would be merged back with the official
upstream kernel code so all this work would not be needed anymore and the
devices will all just work with the new kernel releases.

I spent time sending emails and talking to developers to see how we could
help Markus get his code back into the kernel.

But the situation is just sick, and there are real attitude issues on
both sides.

I have gave up my hopes on getting a good healthy development process for
the em28xx project. I am kind of said about this, because I don't give up
easy and currently slowly feels that the em28xx project maybe hurting the
free software community more then its doing good...

I now need new devices that do not need the em28xx code, I gave up hopes
on getting analog and dvb-t to work with one usb hybrid devices, so I am
going for a dvb-t only device.

Can somebody help me provide a list of devices that i can buy in stores
and that are supported in the 2.6.29 stock kernel or have high
possibilities to get full support in the future.

I would also like to point out I need a feature that allows scanning the
signal strength of a dvd-t channel so I can create an fully automated FTA
signal scanning systems that removes weaker supplicated channels.

Best regards, (but kind of disappointed)

Jelle de Jong
