Geniatech T230
August T210v2

A combined DVB-C, DVB-T and DVB-T2 USB 2.0 device from Geniatech. It is also known as MyGica T230. It is supported since kernel 3.19. Newer versions of August T210 seem to be identical to MyGica T230.

Don't confuse this with Geniatech T220 or T220A that do look exactly the same. The model number is printed on a sticker.
