Michael, a tester for the driver you have ;-)

We have a driver for this, but not released yet.. I'm not sure how the
quality will be either

these em28xx devices should be around in US:

1. Hauppauge  -em2883 (NTSC(tvp5150)/ATSC(lgdt3303)/extra
usbaudio(ep 0x83))
2. Pinnacle  - em2883 (NTSC(tvp5150)/ATSC(lgdt3303)
3. elgato  -  em2883 (NTSC(tvp5150)/ATSC(Samsung)

cheers,
Markus

The USB stick consists of two boards: one with the USB and A/V
connectors, the other with the RF connector. The two boards are
joined(soldered) together with two 7 pin headers, one on each side of
the board. I am unwilling to unsolder the pins and risk damaging the
device, so whatever is inside the "sandwich" is still unknown.

Chips visible:
    Frontend: lgdt3303
    Tuner: xc3028ACQ
    There is also a CPLD: lc4032v

First, I'll be putting collected information here:
http://erik.wanderings.us/pub/PCTVHDPro/

Currently I have some usbsnoop logs, devices images, lsusb output, and
the inf file.
