TerraTec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS

TerraTec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS is a USB 2.0 DVB-T device.

There are apparently several slightly different versions of the Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS.

Based on:

• Empiatech Em2880 usb bridge
• Xceive XC3028 tuner and analog IF demodulator
• Zarlink DVB-T demodulator (ZL10353 or MT352, depending upon version)

Both versions of the product that have USB ID 0ccd:0042 are supported in Linux kernel 2.6.31. The version with USB ID 0ccd:005e is not currently supported.

Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS 00cd:005e

• based on Empiatech Em2882

this device has a hybrid analog and digital tuner (dvb-t), analog teletext, a remote control (similar to the xxs) and analog input for acquisition of from analog video (standard s-video) and audio stereo source through rca connectors. after installation of v4l-dvb the device gets hotter and hotter. May cause damage.

dmesg output

I have a ubuntu lts 10.04 uname -r 2.6.32-32-generic. Still persists problems. With latest update of v4l-dvb drivers (dated 2 July 2011), works better. here is the output:
