Hi,

I started to write a driver, currently it is a very basic one. Reverse 
engineering overwhelmed me a little bit. I contacted the support of 
bbti.us (which is a subsidiary of b2c2) and ask for specs. The support 
told me that they will discuss it internally.

This have been 2 week ago...

Furthermore they said, there did not have been many requests from users 
for linux support for the usb devices. Don't know if it would make sense 
if every linux dvb user would start a request to bbti.

Do you have development experiences?

It is USB1.1.
