LifeView LR506
This is a DVB-T USB receiver from LifeView and is sold in Europe for about 25€.
This device, which was labeled only with the type-name "LR506", is most likely the TV Walker Q DVB-T, which is also known as model LR506Q. This is collaborated with, in addition to visual similarities, by the fact that a LifeView press release (PDF) refers to the LR506 belonging to the "Q-Series".

Firmware
Sofar there has only been little progress to get this Stick supported. At the time of writing it is possible to get the Stick into "warm-state" with a modified m920x.c-driver and a special firmware:
- patch against ddbf21fbe99c (this includes/modifies the patch from http://www.rasterburn.org/~aet/m920x/m920x-twalker-rl506.patch)
- Firmware
Work in Progress
Analysing the i2c bus showed that the devices have following addresses:
0x08 ... TDA10046 0x50 ... the i2c EEPROM (holding the USB-ID for the FX2) 0x60 ... 8275AC1
