The strings in the driver do not tell you much about the real hardware inside.. Do you have a picture of the device somewhere? Can you open the device and have a look at the ICs used? Indeed there is/will be a device around with ULI USB bridge and DiBcom demodulator, but I don't know when. > Additionally the file is named M920XBDA_USB2DTV.sys and it could be used > as well for the M9205 and M9207. The problem is, that the ULI USB bridge is not supported by OpenSource drivers. When they claim Linuxsupport, they maybe provide a binary driver or it was just a marketing gag :). Sorry to tell you that, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/
