Artec T1 USB TV Box
A DVB-T USB device from Artec.
It is supported under Linux.
Overview/Features
The device is based upon the DiBcom DVB-T USB 1.1 reference design.
There are several clones of this device: some have the AN2235 USB controller instead of the AN2135; some use a Panasonic tuner instead of the default Thomson Cable tuner. Most of the Boxes have standard Cypress USB IDs which makes it very hard to identify them.
