The "Diversity" option is a hardware based feature that allows for the device's two receivers to be configured in a combined use mode to achieve better reception on a single channel.

The "Diversity" option is a hardware based feature that allows for the device's two receivers to be configured in a combined use mode to achieve better reception on a single channel. The diversity feature of the DiBcom demodulators is currently not implemented in the Linux-DVB drivers, so only the dual tuner configuration is presently supported on such devices [1].

openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel 2.6.22.1-ccj51-default
Compiling the driver vv4.tgz from http://www.chez.com/treza/mt2266.htm
(on my system a netdevice.h was needed in /lib/modules/2.6.22.1-ccj51-default/build/include/linux)
Copying the firmware dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw to /lib/firmware
