The Pinnacle PCTV 200e is a DVB-T highspeed USB 2.0 adapter with an detachable active antenna. It was first presented on the CeBIT 2005, and still available for about EUR 40,-.
The PCTV 200e is identical to the PCTV 260e, the PCTV 60e and the "PCTV DVB-T Pro USB".
Current Status
As of August 2007 the driver is currently being written/debugged. The code itself is already working. It just needs some cleanup and testing before it can be submitted. Everyone who wants to help, can do so. Just contact the LinuxTV mailing list, or contact the developer on the LinuxTV IRC (his nick: freez).
ToDo List
- handle debug output
- integrate into official v4l tree
- do intensive testing
- support the remote control

Good news!!
Today 28-Jul-2007, after really heavily torturing the device, the device started to talk!
Now the channels can be tunned, TV can be watched and Radio can be listened with the PCTV 200e. All of these tested using Kaffeine as media player.
The driver still is in beta, but we hope soon will be posted in the link for sources below. But it seems to be quite stable.
Have a try!
