Currently I'm aware of only one USB2.0 device. It is the Nebula DigiTV USB
(www.nebula-electronics.com). Alex Woods told me some time ago, that he
started to write a linux driver. Don't know the status.

I can't say anything about the quality of the device. But probably an
external power supply is necessary.

DiBcom is working on a USB2.0 reference design and created a low power
demodulator, so that it will work withou extra power. Probably this device
won't be selled until next year.
