Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick
A DVB-T USB device from Hauppauge.
It is supported under Linux.
Overview/Features
This device features two tuners and is supplied with two antennas. You'll have adapter0 and adapter1 in /dev/dvb, which you can use separately.
The "Diversity" option is a hardware based feature that allows for the device's two receivers to be configured in a combined use mode to achieve better reception on a single channel. The diversity feature of the DiBcom demodulators is currently not implemented in the Linux-DVB drivers, so only the dual tuner configuration is presently supported on such devices [1].
Components Used
- 2× Microtune MT2266 tuners
- Dibcom DiB7700P DVB-T demodulator
Identification
This device's USB ID is 2040:9580.
