My idea is to do something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STjQBE3BIYM but using a raspberry pi instead of a windows pc. Unfortunately, the terratec uses the dib0070 (as do most other usb sticks with diversity), I see some fields for diversity in dib0070.[hc], but every report I see it says that it just exposes two frontends and it doesn't support diversity. Of course I can buy a ready-made car tuner, but what's the fun in that? ;-) Bye -- Luca
