Hi Roger

It would be nice if you could add the tuner to the Linux TV wiki to
share your findings. USB-based DVB-C/T tuners with CI which works
under Linux are NOT very common, so when we have a tuner that actually
works, it's worth documenting IMHO :) I added the TechnoTrend CT-3650
CI to the wiki last year and if the Terratec H7 works now, that means
we actually have two DVB-C/T USB tuners with CI to choose between...

As far as I can tell, the H7 doesn't even exist on linuxtv.org, so a
product page for the tuner will have to be created as well as links to
the page from the DVB-C USB and DVB-T USB pages.

Eg. something like:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_CT-3650_CI

And links from the respective lists of supported devices:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_USB_Devices
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices

I'll be happy to help out with the wiki pages next week, if you can
provide some details about your setup.

Best regards
Kenni
