Hi, I'm new to all this DVB thing, so please be nice :) I bought one of these real cheap USB DVB-T sticks on ebay and thought it was a Yakumo pen. However it turned out that they sent me an afatech chipset no name stick. I found several pictures: http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ search for Afatech DVB-T USB Dongle and http://www.allnet.de/product_info_allnet.php?cPath=_&products_id=99975* *So i followed all the instructions about afatech. I'm using ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. i copied the firmware and did install all the software. i show you now what lsusb -v says: Bus 002 Device 011: ID 15a4:9020 Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bDeviceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bDeviceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol bMaxPacketSize0 16 idVendor 0x15a4 idProduct 0x9020 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 iProduct 2 iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 46 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 (Bus Powered) MaxPower 500mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 4 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bInterfaceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN bmAttributes 3 Transfer Type Interrupt Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0008 1x 8 bytes bInterval 2 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x84 EP 4 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes bInterval 0 cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1) Here's what happens when i plug it into my USB Slot and read dmesg: [19903.363524] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 12 [19903.472058] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [19903.474821] dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech DVB-T USB1.1 stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware [19903.489888] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'af9005.fw' [19903.684099] dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech DVB-T USB1.1 stick' in warm state.
