I assume it is "LITE-ON USB2.0 DVB-T > Tuner" which is sold rebranded as Toshiba (according to one comment in > code). If same device then it does have PID filter and uses 4096 BULK > packets. Yeap, thats the one ... see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices [329345.857835] dvb-usb: found a 'LITE-ON USB2.0 DVB-T Tuner' in warm state.

Could be interesting. Especially with the whole IT world moving towards more energy efficient systems ... Do you think we should start to document the findings in the linuxtv wiki? BTW: I think we might better take this thread to linix-dvb as is now mostly deals with driver issues and less with vdr. (I would have started it there but I didn't know the source of the system load nor the layout of mailinglists on linuxtv then) cheers and thank you for your help. -henrik _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
