This is a cheap terrestrial (free to air) DVB card. It is very similar to the Twinhan VisionPlus DVB card.
Australia
This card is sold in Australia and works with the "Free To Air" Digital TV services.
The channel frequencies for all regions in Australia are listed on the Digital Broadcast Australia website.
Sources for the card:
- DDcomputer for AU$65 - Added by michaelf
- MSY for AU$75
Kernel Driver
This card is supported in the stock Linux kernel 2.6.8+ by the bttv driver. the 'dmesg' command shows the following:
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:01:04.0, irq: 209, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe6afe000 bttv0: detected: Twinhan VisionPlus DVB [card=113], PCI subsystem ID is 1822:0001 bttv0: using: Twinhan DST + clones [card=113,insmod option] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f762ff [init] bttv0: using tuner=4 bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0"

Remote Control
The bundled remote control has a USB reciever that acts as a HID keyboard device and send keycodes. This has been a problem for some people because there was no easy way to change the keycodes that it sends. Apparently is it possible to use LIRC to intercept the incoming keycodes and handle them as any other lirc device. Here is an extract from the MythTV Users mailing list:
To get this (or any) USB IR HID device to work with mythtv: 1) Compiled lirc with devinput as the driver (under Other) 2) Faffed about trying cat /dev/input/eventX until I found one that was the remote (or just "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" to determine it) 3) Used irremote --device /dev/input/eventX to configure lircd.conf for the keypresses on the remote. It's quite (almost) able to figure it out itself. This also required some hand editing as some of the buttons were multiple key presses (eg, Ctrl+Alt+F6 for power) and not all the keys were unique in the file. I just dumped some output from irremote to a file and picked out unique ones for each key.
