Drivers

The following drivers are needed for these devices:

 - dvb-usb.ko
 - dvb-usb-dibusb-common.ko
 - dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2.ko

Remote Control

The remote control is partially supported by current Linux kernels together with the abovementioned firmware and drivers. Supported are the following keys:

• numbers 0 through 9, asterisk, (#)
• arrow keys
• volume up, down
• play, record, rewind, forward, pause, (stop)

The other keys deliver scancodes above 255, which are not recognized by X11. For a solution, refer to: [1]

Do not try some other solution like LIRC, this one works easiest.
