This is my newbie contribution to the ASUS My Cinema U3100 Mini (USB stick). It is only to display a few basic stuff, how I got this thing partially working, maybe someone can improve the page later with more details. I tested it on Debian wheezy distribution and the module seems to be integrated into the Debian stock kernel, so I didn't have to recompile the kernel.
I plug in the stick and dmesg shows this information:
# dmesg [ 4536.212042] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd [ 4536.344952] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0b05, idProduct=173f [ 4536.344959] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 4536.344964] usb 1-3: Product: ASUS DVBT Tuner [ 4536.344968] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: ASUSTeK [ 4536.344972] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: 8500500875 [ 4536.346074] dvb-usb: found a 'ASUS My Cinema U3100 Mini DVBT Tuner' in cold state, will try to load a firmware [ 4536.384295] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw' [ 4536.595697] dib0700: firmware started successfully.

[ 4537.535951] dvb-usb: ASUS My Cinema U3100 Mini DVBT Tuner successfully initialized and connected.
I had problems using (dvb)scan, but w_scan works. I used it to create the channels.conf file for MPlayer. It is important that you add the -M parameter otherwise you will receive default w_scan init strings, which will not work for MPlayer.
# w_scan -ft -M >> ~/.mplayer/channels.conf
Then to start MPlayer just type:
# mplayer dvb://
At this point I get some partial reception with errors, I am not sure either because of bad reception (weak signal/antenna) or due to some bugs, which I wasn't able to resolve yet. Alternativelly I tried also using VLC software, where I receive stream with sound/partial image, but I get lots of cubes so the picture isn't clear there.
