Hi I read some where that trying different card types for a DVB tuner can potentially cause damage to them. You are probably right about the firmare. Do you have a link to the manufacture of your stick? I tried to google the name of it but couldn't found an exact match. The EM2881_BOARD_PINNACLE_HYBRID_PRO uses it's XC3028 to getter with a ZARLINK456 as you can see from the following line in em28xx-cards.c case EM2881_BOARD_PINNACLE_HYBRID_PRO: ctl->demod = XC3028_FE_ZARLINK456; break; It is probably not compliant with your Zarlink MT352. There is a mt352 module tho, but I guess it doesn't get loaded when you plug your stick in. I'll pooke around a bit..... PS Use the "reply all", so others can see your mails, since I'm probably one of the least competent guys/gals on this mailing list.
