The Pinnacle PCTV 200e is a DVB-T highspeed USB 2.0 adapter with an detachable active antenna. It was first presented on the CeBIT 2005, and still available for about EUR 40,-.
The PCTV 200e is identical to the PCTV 260e, the PCTV 60e and the "PCTV DVB-T Pro USB".
Current Status
The code itself is already working. It just needs some cleanup and testing before it can be submitted. Everyone who wants to help, can do so. Just contact the LinuxTV mailing list, or contact the developer directly.
Since the developers of this driver have virtually no time, no further development is being planned for now. So if you want the driver to be integrated into the official v4l-dvb tree before January 2008, you are welcome to do it yourself.
ToDo List
- handle debug output
- integrate into official v4l tree
- do intensive testing
- support the remote control
