Hi,<br>
<br>
frustrated that I couldn't watch the Chinese New Years' Fireworks
using my RTL2832U based DVB-T stick in Hong Kong, I just bought a <br>
<br>
MagicPro ProHDTV Mini 2 USB stick. Given that HK is now part of
China (somehow), they decided to follow the mainland DTV standard,
so it's DTMB (DMB-T/H) over here.<br>
<br>
The package says it only supports Windows, but I never believe the
packaging :)<br>
<br>
lsusb -v says:<br>
<br>
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1b80:d39f Afatech <br>
<br>
This looks *very* similar to the RTL2832U, in fact dmesg says it's a
Realtek chip:<br>
<br>
[58773.739843] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using
ehci_hcd<br>
[58773.835657] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b80,
idProduct=d39f<br>
[58773.835665] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0<br>
[58773.835670] usb 1-1.1: Product: usbtv<br>
[58773.835673] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: realtek<br>
<br>
Full lsusb -v output is attached.<br>
<br>
I checked here but it's not listed, but other (PCIe) devices from
the same manufacturer are:<br>

<br>
I'm more than willing to get this thing supported under Linux - just
let me know what I can do to help.<br>
<br>
I have<br>
<br>
a) the stick<br>
b) the Windows driver/software CD (soon as an ISO)<br>
<br>
What I can provide is<br>
<br>
a) help getting more info on the hardware (taking it apart etc.)<br>
b) provide remote access to a box with the stick plugged in if
necessary<br>
c) test new code / patches<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
