Pinnacle PCTV 200e
The Pinnacle PCTV 200e is a DVB-T highspeed USB 2.0 adapter with an active antenna. It was first presented on the CeBIT 2005, and still available for about EUR 40,-.
Under Windows it can be used with alternative DVB software thanks to existing BDA drivers, while under GNU\Linux support is still missing, although both the frontend MT352 and the tuner MT2060 are already supported by LinuxTV.
The PCTV 200e is identical to the PCTV 260e, the PCTV 60e and the "PCTV DVB-T Pro USB".
Current Status
As of June 2007 the driver is currently being written/debugged. Everyone who wants to help, can do so. Just contact the LinuxTV mailing list, or contact the developer on the LinuxTV IRC (his nick: freez).
