Okay I promise this isn't as useless as my last issue! I finally got a device that actually IS a DVB device and not some other thing with a similar sounding name. It's the V-Stream XPERT DTV DVB-T USB 2.0. The dvb-dibusb driver didn't pick it up though. I checked the USB ID and it didn't match any that the driver recognised. I tinkered with the driver a bit myself (not done that before) and after a couple of attempts, I managed to get it to work. eb2a:17de is the ID it has during the "cold" state. After uploading the firmware, it switches to the "warm" state with an ID of 06e1:a334, which the driver does recognise. I used the DIBUSB2_0B part of the driver and it consequently asked for the dvb-dibusb-adstech-usb2-1.fw firmware file. This is missing from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/ but I did find dvb-usb-adstech-usb2-02.fw in the CVS repository and that worked. I say "worked" in a loose sense because I then discovered that terrestrial digital TV is not available where I live. Gah! I had wrongly assumed that it was available across the whole of the UK. I would have at least thought that it would be available here. Nevermind. dmesg showed no errors, the device lit up, the device nodes appeared in /dev/dvb and I was able to run scan - though obviously I couldn't pick anything up. I think we can assume that it would have actually worked. James
