OT: Digital TV decoder USB sticks

[Boaz Rymland]

Hi,

I bought this toy today.
I'm glad to say that it worked out of the box in Ubuntu 9.04 - or at 
least it appears so:
Kaffeine is happy with it, I do have /dev/dvb/ devices and dmesg seems 
to report that the drivers are ok. I bet the following kernel drivers 
are related: dvb_usb_af9015, af9013, dvb_usb.
Scanning for channels works as well but that's where the party ends - at 
least where I live (in Petach Tikva) I get zero channels reception.
I switched to Windows, installed the little thingy + its software and 
verified that indeed its a matter of reception - no channels on Windows 
too :-(  .

If you need more info let me know.

I'll try it soon on my laptop in another location - I'm anxious to see 
how it works.

Boaz.
