DVB via USB
Introduction
Here is a market overview of available DVB/ATSC USB devices sorted by its required LinuxTV driver (if supported - and yes - most of them are). Generally it is a good idea to use dvb-kernel from CVS, because some drivers can be very new and thus have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.
Please help to keep this list up-to-date so that it is useful for everyone!
For all devices shown below you need to load (if not compiled into the kernel):
- i2c-core - crc32 - firmware_class - dvb-core.ko - dvb-pll.ko
and maybe others too. If the loading fails for any particular module you'll get a "unkown symbol"-message. Then take a look at dmesg to find out, which symbols (functions) are missing. After you've found out which module was absent, please come back here and add it to the list/device-entry.
Legend: the field type specifies the real USB-standard of the device
- USB1.1: the device can be run on the USB1.1 and on the USB2.0 bus but only with USB1.1-speed. - USB2.0: the device can only be connected to a real USB2.0 port and runs with USB2.0-speed. (delivering the complete Transport Stream to the software demuxer.) - USB2.0/USB1.1: the device is actually USB2.0, but can also be driven on a USB1.1 port. (if not mentioned elsewhere, these boxes can deliver the complete Transport Stream when running in USB2.0 mode)
Firmware
Most of the USB devices need a firmware to run. Some of the firmware files can be downloaded here: [1] or here: [2] .

WideView/Yakumo/Hama/Typhoon/Yuan Boxes and Pens
All devices below are fully supported by the LinuxTV driver. The following drivers are needed for these devices:
- dvb-usb.ko - dvb-usb-dtt200u.ko
These frontend(s)/demodulator(s) can be found in various revisions of this device:
- Zarlink MT352 - The new units use the Zarlink ZL10353 instead of MT352 - for pentype design it is unkown (but it doesn't matter at all, see comment)
Warning: When checking the table below, check the USB ID to see if you have an old or new revision of the firmware. The new version is shown near the bottom of the table.
Comment: The programming of the MT352 is hidden behind the USB protocol defined within the firmware. These boxes can only deliver part of the Transport Stream (using a hardware PID filter) which is not known how to be deactivated. (The driver was completely reverse-engineered without the help of its real vendor (assuming WideView is the manufacturer - UPDATE: the vendor was so kind to provide information about unknown commands, hence the driver is complete))

Attention:
There is a new Firmware 1.0.2.14 for the MD 95700 from Medion available. You can download it directly from the Medion Webserver. [62]
Please read the Readme befor you flash the Box.
This update fix some Videoproblems. But the new Firmware is incompatible with the old dvb-usb Driver's. You need the new dvd-usb drivers (cxusb.c >= V1.5 and cxusb.h >= 1.2) Have a look to the cvs-tree dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb [63]
Btw: If you use your Box under Windows, dont forget to update the Windows-Drivers too.

Unspecified/Unknown devices
If you own one or more devices from the following list and you want to help the development, please contact the [[linux-dvb-ml|linux-dvb Mailing list].
Anysee Edition 30 DVB-T USB2
The design seems to be similar with the Twinhan Alpha Stick (same Tuner and Demod), but it doesn't work with the alpha-driver (vp7045) and firmware.
Anysee doesn't want to help OpenSource-developers to write a linux-driver by handing out specs. Reverse-engineering would be possible anyway, but why, there are plenty of other USB devices working in Linux.
DVBWorld (?) DVB-S USB2 Box
SIEMSSEN & CO. - Opera S1
A similar deviece to the DVBWorld seems to be sold in Germany by one of the well known discounters and its german distributor is Siemssen [71] under the name Opera DVB-S1. The card contains a Cypress CY7C87013A-56PCX to manage the USB-Part that seems to control a Xilinx Spartan(R) XC3850 FPGA. The tuner box reads Sharp, but I cannot find out more about it.
I'm able to upload the firmware to turn the device from cold mode to warm USB ID but programming the FPGA still fails. For my card/driver: The cold USB ID is: VID 0x04b4 (CYPRESS) PID: 0x2830 The warm USB ID is: VID 0x695C (???????) PID: 0x3829
DVB-S cards in similar cases can be found on different asian sites
[72]
[73]
Despite of the fact, that all those devices look quite similar and have similar hardware, siemssen still claims that they are build completely different and their drivers can not be exchanged in any way.
LifeView TV Walker DVB-T (P/Q/Hybrid)
P and Q are sticks: [74] [75]. The Q stick contains the TDA8275A Silicon Tuner and the TDA10046A OFDM channel demodulator. Use of the lsusb command reveals that the stick has USB IP from Anubis Electronics Ltd. (ID 0x10FD)
There is a DVB-T-only box: [76]
There is a DVB-T/Analogue box (with external power): [77]

In germany a similar device seems to be sold as dnt EuroMini200 [79].
We tried to get information about the usb interface at Twinhan, but there was none avaiable. The chip vendor Uli [80] refuses to open all relevant information.
Maybe the same applies for the TwinhanDTV Hurricne (704D) [81].
