Hi Boris, Have a look at this page - http://www.flamingspork.com/blog/2006/09/05/twinhan-usb-dtv-dongle-not-working/ As you can see some twinhan devices don't work. For what it is worth, i do have plans to fix the driver but i am busy for the next few months so i might not get a chance to look at it for a while. Stewart, who is the person that wrote the above blog post, never finished the driver he was talking about. I have the half finished code if anyone else wants to have a go at finishing off this driver themselves, just let me know and i will post the code.
