Hi! A friend of mine got himself a "EuroMini 100" USB stick from www.dnt.de which actually happens to be a "TwinhanDTV Alpha/MagicBox II" using the vp7045 kernel module. It is announced as linux compatible by dnt which of course don't mean nothing... We tested the stick under win2k first and it resonably worked fine getting about 24 TV channels in the south of Berlin. Lots of them with weak signals, though. Switching to the linux side, he is running Suse 10.0, we first attempted to use the native Suse compiled kernel modules which resulted in a complete lock up of the machine after providing it the correct firmware file into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware (dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw). Check out the output from /var/log/messages: ---------------- Jan 5 21:13:13 leoni kernel: usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Jan 5 21:13:14 leoni kernel: dvb_usb: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.

Sometimes (2 in 10 I'd say) it works like a charm and we can make it work using apps like klear, xine and kaffeine. Is it possible that the board is not providing enough power to the stick? Or is the support for this device in it's initial steps? We would appreciate some advice on how to make this work.
