I have been following this thread with interest. Unfortunately it seems
that the fix that works for everyone else doesn't work for me. I have
been talking to Erich Focht, and except for serial number, my card is
identical to his. The details are repeated here anyway.
Freecom DVB-T USB Stick
Art. No: 25451-rev.3 May 2006
www.freecom.com Made in Taiwan
S/N: 6575D0444592
I have another (older, art. no.: 25452) Freecom stick which works perfectly.
The new stick will tune sometimes, not others. The main problem I notice
is that it registers 2 frontends. This cannot be right, can it?
Upon hear is the dmesg of the card being inserted:
