Attached is a patch against v4l-dvb repository to add support for
Magic-Pro DMB-TH usb stick.  DMB-TH is the HDTV broadcast standard used
in Hong Kong and China.

Timothy,

In order for your patch to be applied to the kernel, a sign-off is
required.

Please respond to this email with your sign-off, as described here:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/README.patches

e) All patches shall have a Developers Certificate of Origin


Also, what software can people use with your device & driver to tune
to DMB-TH services?

How do users scan for services?
  
        
Dear Michael,

Thanks for your hint on getting the patch accepted.  I've now cleaned
up the patch to pass checkpatch.pl, and signed it off.

I've also attached a second patch against the dvb-apps repository
which adds a DMB-TH scan file for Hong Kong.  Since the ProHDTV stick
contains a DMB-TH decoder (lgs8gl5) onboard, it outputs MPEG-TS to the
PC.

I've been using mplayer to test the driver.  But since I'm using
dvb-usb's generic video streaming mechanism, I imagine the driver
should be compatible with other DVB software. 
      
Timothy,

I've applied your patch to my cxusb tree, with slight modifications, in
order to coincide with another patch to the same code.  Please test the
tree and confirm proper operation before I request a merge into the
master branch.

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/cxusb

I'll push the Hong Kong scan file to dvb-apps after this tree is merged
into the master branch.

If you have any additional fixes / changes to make before this is merged
into master, please generate them against this cxusb tree.
    

I also have a question--

If the device is called, "Magic-Pro DMB-TH usb stick" then I think that we
should change its name from "Conexant DMB-TH Stick" to "Magic-Pro DMB-TH usb stick"

Which is the correct name?

-Mike
  
"Conexant..." is the name listed in the Windows INF file.  The circuit board appears to be a reference design branded by at least two companies (MagicPro and Mygica) in Hong Kong.

Regards,
Timohty
