Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick (2001e)

Model number 2001e.

Works (both tuners) with LinuxMCE 710 (kernel 2.6.22-14), and V4L device drivers from the V4L repository (as at Oct 8 2008).

NOTE that you must have 2 antenna leads plugged into the unit to get both tuners to work! One into the end, and one into the small coax connector on the side of the unit (using the adapter supplied).

Reported as working (except for IR receiver) 2008-06-17 in linux-dvb mailing list by Ingo Arndt using kernel 2.6.24 with tuxonice-patches http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&m=121373651224728&w=2

Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick requires the following kernel modules: dib7000m, dib7000p, dib3000mc, dvb-usb, dvb-usb-dib0700. These modules are available in the latest Linux kernel. Under Debian the following kernel package from Debian lenny (testing) is needed:

$ apt-get -t testing install linux-image-2.6.24-1-686

Download the firmware:

$ wget http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/files/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw

$ cp dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw /lib/firmware

$ ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw

Manufacturer's (mostly useless) link- don't expect to find manuals or details here!

Probably the same as Elgato EyeTV Diversity and Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick (see this review).
