Hello everybody, So after some hints in an other thread, I bought myself a PCTV 72e to bad Pinnacle soled his department to Hauppauge, so this device is EOL (end of live) But this is so far the best device I tested, it works almost out of the box :D The only thing missing is a firmware package in debian or a mainstream v4l dvb firmware package. The device works with wscan, mplayer, totem-xine and seems to be stable and no need for any custom compiling. See my logs for more information, Best regards, Jelle de Jong
