Well supported USB DVB-C device?

Well supported USB DVB-C device?

[Malte Gell]

Hello,

is there a DVB-C device with USB that is well supported by a recent kernel 
(2.6.38)?

Thanx
Malte

Anysee E30 C Plus is supported as far as I know.


Note that new revision of Anysee E30 Combo Plus is no longer supported 
since they changed to new NXP silicon tuner. E30 Combo Plus and E30 C 
Plus are different devices.

I am not sure which is status of TT CT-3650, it could be other one which 
is working.

Yes it is working as E30 Combo Plus was too. The aim was try to say that 
you never know when chipset changes and it stops working. Anyhow, I am 
not currently aware that, I am that driver author.

Card reader is not supported in any of the Anysee models.

I have found a device from Terratec, the Terratec H7. They have published a 
driver for this device at 
http://linux.terratec.de/files/TERRATEC_H7_Linux.tar.gz

So I think, I will try this device when I have figured out, how their kernel 
modules is to be built.

I can confirm that. The only downside so far is that it seems to need a
lot of hand-holding by the CPU, which in turn leads to increased power
consumption.

Ouch. I really wish vendors would stop using the same name for different
devices.

I might have some useful info on this, since I bought a recent 
Anysee E30 C earlier this week.

The unit does not seem to work out of the box (tested on three different 
kernels (2.6.32, 2.6.33 & 2.6.35). It registers as having a TDA10023 
frontend and also loads modules for zl10353 and mt352.

Tuning fails however and the device info indicates rev1.0 which means 
something might have changed. The funny thing is that in windows it shows 
up as a DVB-C/T device and you can tune to both cable and terrestrial!!

Could this mean that it is actually the same hardware as a Combo? 
I tried to check with a distributor and got a message that new devices 
could have the following components: DNOD44CDV086A, TDA18212.

I plan to return the unit unless somebody knows if there's any hope
of getting it to work with existing drivers.

The CT-3650 works well. I belive everything works (CI, IR) but DVB-T is
not yet implemented on that one.

without AC Adapter Sundtek MediaTV Pro (DVB-C, DVB-T, AnalogTV,
FM-Radio, Composite, S-Video) / Digital Home (DVB-C, DVB-T only),
supported from Linux 2.6.15 - (any newer System). Full standby after
15 seconds inactivity. Also supported across many different
Architectures.
Driver installation should not take longer than 10 seconds on just
about any system.
Some multimedia distributions already ship direct support for it.
