Making it work

According to NetUp's product page, the device works with their fork of Linux kernel 3.0.

The following instructions are outdated, using NetUp's fork of an earlier kernel.

Check out linux kernel (experimental): 

git clone http://udev.netup.ru/git/v4l-dvb.git linux-2.6.35-netup
cd linux-2.6.35-netup
make menuconfig
make && make modules_install && make install

Change grub menu.lst config to boot new kernel (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35+).

Install firmware files into /lib/firmware folder: 

wget http://www.netup.tv/downloads/netup-dvb-t-c_firmware-v0.1.tbz2
tar xvfj netup-dvb-t-c_firmware-v0.1.tbz2
cp netup-dvb-t-c_firmware-v0.1/* /lib/firmware/

Tuning to DVB-C and DVB-T

Each port can be tuned to DVB-T or DVB-C using frontend0 or frontend1 accordingly.

For DVB-T use frontend0 

# tzap modul64
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 578000000 Hz
video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0821
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
status 10 | signal 0000 | snr 001b | ber bf8ec9c8 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 10 | signal 0000 | snr 001b | ber bf8ec9c8 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 10 | signal 0000 | snr 001b | ber bf8ec9c8 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

For DVB-C use frontend1 

# czap -f 1 modul64
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.czap/channels.conf'
  2 modul64:578000000:INVERSION_AUTO:5900000:FEC_NONE:QAM_128:515:672:1509
  2 modul64: f 578000000, s 5900000, i 2, fec 0, qam 4, v 0x203, a 0x2a0, s 0x5e5
status 10 | signal ffff | snr b851 | ber 00000000 | unc 0000000b | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 10 | signal ffff | snr ca3c | ber 00000000 | unc 0000000b | FE_HAS_LOCK
