Hi,


As suggested in the message below, I have tried to use an EMTEC S830 
with the treza's patch.
I did not succed but I had some encouraging results, so If someone would 
to continue or give me an advice, this is what I did :

First, I found vendor and device ID with lsusb and the confirmations 
that it use STK7700D

Bus 005 Device 005: ID 1164:1e8c YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass         0
  bDeviceProtocol         0
  bMaxPacketSize0        64
  idVendor           0x1164 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd
  idProduct          0x1e8c
  bcdDevice            1.00
  iManufacturer           1 YUANRD
  iProduct                2 STK7700D
  iSerial                 3 0000000001
  bNumConfigurations      1
...



So I did the following modifications to the dib0700_devices.c and 
dvb-usb-ids.h :

OK, after installing that, when I inserted the usb device, it turns on a 
red led (what it did not before) and some modules where loaded :

OK, now when I tried to scan for channels I never could have any locked 
up frequencies :-(

I first tried with kaffeine because it was the easiest way ...
The scanner show some good signal (from 20% to 100%) on several 
frequencies but it never lock nothing.
I could verify that the hardware was really sending signal by removing 
the antena (the signal became 1% to 2%)

I tried to reuse frequencies from another DVB for reading the multiplex 
with vlc but not much :

vlc -vvv --color  dvb:// :dvb-adapter=0 :dvb-frequency=474000000
