Hi, frustrated that I couldn't watch the Chinese New Years' Fireworks on TVB Jade using my RTL2832U based DVB-T stick in Hong Kong, I just bought a MagicPro ProHDTV Mini 2 USB stick. Given that HK is now part of China (somehow), they decided to follow the mainland DTV standard, so it's DTMB (DMB-T/H) over here. The package says it only supports Windows, but I never believe the packaging, and I believe in Linux hackers :) lsusb -v says: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1b80:d39f Afatech This looks *very* similar to the RTL2832U, in fact dmesg says it's a Realtek chip: [58773.739843] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd [58773.835657] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b80, idProduct=d39f [58773.835665] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [58773.835670] usb 1-1.1: Product: usbtv [58773.835673] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: realtek Full lsusb -v output is attached.
It didn't looked very similar than RTL2831U or RTL2832U USB interface. Very likely different USB interface.
I checked here but it's not listed, but other (PCIe) devices from the same manufacturer are: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DMB-T/H_PCIe_Cards I'm more than willing to get this thing supported under Linux - just let me know what I can do to help. I have a) the stick b) the Windows driver/software CD (soon as an ISO) What I can provide is a) help getting more info on the hardware (taking it apart etc.) b) provide remote access to a box with the stick plugged in if necessary c) test new code / patches
First thing to do is identify used chips. Open the box and find out 3 biggest chip. There may be 1, 2 or 3 big chips depending on integration level.
