Chris, Can you report back if this stick is working on your machine. A couple of us have had problems with kernel oops and freezes and crashes after dvb-usb reports back: bulk message failed: -71 I saw a post re this earlier on that suggests the problem may be at a lower level than the dvb modules, and somebody has suggested that it's because the device is drawing more power than USB should do. However, nobody has suggested a solution yet and the stick works fine on M$. Anybody???
