Revision as of 10:35, 20 October 2013
On this page you will find information regarding DVB-T2 USB devices.
- The information contained here is likely non-exhaustive and, despite best efforts to do otherwise, may contain errors. (Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!)
- If your device is not listed, try:
- searching the existing mailing list archives:
- searching for information with Google or other internet search engine
- by posting a question about the device directly to the LMML (but please do conduct a search first, as it may already have been discussed!)
- Note: when it comes to support, it is generally a good idea to try the current V4L-DVB sources because some device drivers can be very new and thus may have not made their way into the mainstream kernel.
- In any regard, in respect to the above listed suggestions, you may find it to be the case that your device is actually already supported or that experimental support is available.
- Because the component constitution on many devices are often similar or identical, there may be devices that are unlisted but may actually work with the existing driver framework for previously supported devices. In such a case, your non-listed but working device will likely be reported in your system messages as being one of those previously supported devices. If you encounter such an occurrence, please do report your success on the LMML so that proper detection/identification of your device can be added within the drivers.
- Lastly, it bears worth repeating the request: Please help to keep these lists up-to-date so that they are useful for everyone!

However, please note that inquiries to the mailing list:
- Should NOT be treated as an order drop-off queue. You're soliciting help from volunteer developers who work on V4L-DVB matters in their spare time, and such work can be non-trivial (i.e. requiring even thousands of hours work). So being demanding is one sure route to being ignored. (Honestly, this point really shouldn't even need to be written, but you'd be surprised at the number of irrational individuals who write into the mailing list demanding this or that).
- May pass without garnering a response—a distinct byproduct of the fact that there are a limited number of developers, whom might be able to help, that are associated with the project. Often times, even if they wished to help, their energies are entirely tied up with other projects. In such cases, the best path might be to try to spearhead the driver development for your device yourself, or hire someone who can.
Supported by 3rd Party Drivers
Sometimes a manufacturer forks v4l-dvb all on their own and writes a driver for their device so they can claim Linux support.
In-Kernel 3rd party Drivers
- It's possible your device will work.. for the moment.
- If the manufacturer provides open source drivers with an acceptable license, volunteers could technically implement this code in the Linux kernel for true support. However.. :
- The quality of the code (if open, there are also cases where you just get a binary blob) too often just isn't good enough and there's still too much work to be done to make the device work. There was probably a reason the manufacturer didn't just send their patches to the linux-media mailinglist.
- Depending on what exactly the manufacturer did, you may have to reinstall the drivers every time your kernel is updated.
- When the manufacturer stops updating the drivers, the drivers will quickly refuse to install as newer kernels are released.
In case a manufacturer provides open source drivers the patches can be sent to the linux-media mailinglist Linux-Media Mailing List (LMML). Keep in mind however that if the license isn't compatible with the Linux kernel or the quality of the code isn't good enough, these will not become a part of the Linux kernel.
NOTE: As linux media drivers are character based, drivers can be also written using libfuse's character device in userspace example. If written that way, an out-of-kernel driver can be written, which fully integrates to udev without the disadvantage of closed source or incompatibility to other drivers. Such driver would rely on kernel fuse and character device in user space support as well as libfuse.
Closed source userspace drivers (mostly Sundtek)
- Same driver may be usable for different Linux versions, depending on what vendor did.
- No need to reinstall drivers when your kernel is updated.
- Drivers can be profiled easily and more accurately than in kernelspace.
- If the driver crashes, it won't crash the system or kernel, only the driver and applications using the driver will be affected. Userspace drivers can also be used when debugging drivers for USB host controllers, as the userspace driver can't crash the system, making debugging easier.
- If the manufacturer would stop to support the drivers, the userspace driver may still continue to work with newer Linux systems
- You can't look into the sources. While this may be not a problem for end-users, it prevents hacking devices and trying to fix bugs (usually not a problem for endusers)

Newtown police made a bizarre discovery last week when they found between 200 and 300 plastic one- gallon jugs filled with urine in a home on Route 34 in the Sandy Hook section of Newtown.
On Thursday, local police went to 82 Berkshire Road to investigate after state police notified them that the department received a report of suspicious activity.
Investigators found the back door broken down and checked to see if a crime had occurred or if anyone needed help.
That is when they found closed opaque jugs filled with brownish liquid, according to a news release from Newtown police.
The Newtown Bee reports that police found 200 to 300 one-gallon jugs, the Newtown Bee reports.
At first, local police contacted the state police narcotics department to see if this was drug-related, according to police and the Bee.
The investigation determined that the liquid was urine, so the state Department of Energy & Environmental Protection and Clean Harbors, an environmental clean-up firm, were called in.
Clean Harbors removed several of the jugs and the house has been boarded up, according to police.
The Newtown Building Department, the Health Department and the fire marshal's office are working on the case.
Town Health Director Donna Culbert told the Bee that the town will notify the homeowner that the residence is condemned.

When Desegregation as a Cold War Imperative was first published in November 1988 in the Stanford Law Review, a graduate student I met at a conference asked why on earth I had published it somewhere that made it so difficult to find! I was told that grad students, without access to legal research tools, passed dog-eared copies to each other. The article has since been anthologized, and of course I've done more work in the area, but many outside the law school world never came across the article.
Inspired by Paul Finkelman, Kurt Lash and others, I've decided it's time to try to make my SSRN listing more comprehensive by posting earlier articles. This seems particularly important for interdisciplinary scholars whose work appears in different sorts of indexes (law and humanities). Putting it on-line means that researchers across the divide can find it in one place. I did not post this earlier because I didn't have permission to do so, but was able to get permission to do it now.
Here's the abstract:
Desegregation as a Cold War Imperative by Mary L. Dudziak, University of Southern California Law School, Stanford Law Review (1988).
At the height of the McCarthy era, when Congressional committees were exposing "communist infiltration" in many areas of American life, the Supreme Court was upholding loyalty oath requirements, and the executive branch was ferreting out alleged communists in government, the U.S. Attorney General filed a pro-civil rights brief in what would become one of the most celebrated civil rights cases in American history: Brown v. Board of Education. Although seemingly at odds with the restrictive approach to individual rights in other contexts, the U.S. government's participation in the desegregation cases during the McCarthy era was no anomaly. Rather, by the early 1950s, American leaders had come to believe that civil rights reform was crucial to the more central U.S. mission of fighting world communism. Based in part on diplomatic research in State Department archives, this article demonstrates that Cold War motives influenced the U.S. government's involvement in Brown and other cases. Originally published in 1988 in the Stanford Law Review, this article was the first publication to use State Department records to examine the relationship between Cold War foreign relations and civil rights in the United States. Diplomatic records illustrate the growing concern among American diplomats and political leaders after World War II about the impact of race discrimination on the U.S. image around the world, and the global critique that the United States could not be an effective "leader of the free world" as long as the nation blatantly denied rights to its own peoples. This research confirmed the suspicions of Derrick Bell and others who argued before these records were opened that foreign affairs affected U.S. government civil rights policies, and it helped illuminate the world-wide impact of the civil rights movement. This research was expanded upon in Mary L. Dudziak, Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American Democracy (Princeton University Press, 2000), and in books and articles by other scholars. The larger body of work on race and foreign relations is an important aspect of efforts by historians to internationalize the study of American history. Thanks to the Stanford Law Review, the article is now available on SSRN so that it will be easily accessible on-line.

Desegregation as a Cold War Imperative, now on SSRN

Glad you posted this. Didn't you give a paper with this title at an Am.Pol.Sci.Assn. meeting (Law & History section)?

Thanks for your note. I gave an APSA paper on the later research that resulted in my book, Cold War Civil Rights. The one conference I gave a paper with the title Desegregation as a Cold War Imperative was my very first panel at the American Society for Legal History, before this piece was published.
The broader race and foreign affairs literature includes political scientists. Probably the most well known poli sci contribution is The Unsteady March by Philip Klinkner and Rogers Smith, which focuses on the impact of wartimes on civil rights.

The phenomenally popular children's series is back in its third incarnation, as EA conjures up Harry Potter's adventures on PS2 just in time for a movie-game tie-in this summer. And as well as being charged with the same magical charm as the previous titles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban now features EyeToy compatibility, so amateur alchemists and budding wizards alike can practice their incantations in front of the telly.
Following the film's plot closely, the videogame version of Harry's endeavours sees you returning for more wizardry and witchcraft at the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, with good pals Hermione and Ron in attendance. The story picks up with the spell-casting trio aboard the Hogwarts Express, with their journey rudely interrupted by Harry's arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy and his gang of malcontents spoiling for a fight. But it seems the young apprentice may have a far more formidable enemy to tackle this time...
Based on JK Rowling's book of the same name, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban sees the boy-wizard pursued by Sirius Black - an inmate of the notorious jail, suspected of murdering Harry's parents. And, in addition to this new foe, Harry must also face the sinister Dementors, Azkaban's ghoulish prison guards.
As ever, EA brings something new to the mix, with Harry's latest outing containing a range of EyeToy compatible minigames, suitable for up to four budding wand-wavers. Don the 'Sorting Hat' and get mobile for Chocolate Frogs, Exploding Snap, Seeker Practice and Zonko's Joke Shop - delightfully entertaining challenges that will be familiar to fans of the series.
Players can now assume the roles of student spell-casters Ron and Hermione too, and switch between the trio of friends depending on the situation you're in. So, for example, you can swap from Harry to Hermione if you need to cast a Freeze spell, or make use of Ron for his sixth sense abilities.
The whole thing is all wrapped up in eye-strokingly pleasing graphics which reflect the continuing maturity of the series, translating the magical quality of the books and films with style.

Thread: Bob Dole craps on Scott
Results 11 to 20 of 34
EyelidsGuest05-31-2008, 05:44 AM
Scott McClellan did speak up, isnt that what this whole thing is about? If the Administration was really lying and decieving the public wouldn't SMC been doing the country a disservice by staying quiet? He outed Bush for what most of the country already knows he is.
[/I wont respond to your canned comments on this. So dont bother]Bush's involvement in Scooter Libby would've been grounds for impeachment a few years ago, but the gesture is merely symbolic at this point and a waste of everyones' time.[/I wont respond to your canned comments on this. So dont bother]
Bob Dole is a coward here, piling on a guy and towing the party line when he has nothing to gain. Old irrelevant washed up loser trying to get back in the news, any responsible journalist would shred this crap before it hit their desk.
Except you are lying on Bush's involvement with Scooter Libby. The anti-war State Dept. employee Richard Armitage was the leaker.
HE ADMITTED IT and the publisher of the leak, Robert Novak CONFIRMED it.
Get your facts straight.
There also is NO specific allegation. Why didn't Scotty use anything that could actually be checked out????

I wouldn't read the book myself but I hear it accomplished what the publisher wanted it to. Sales and a new investigation. They couldn't uncover any evidence against President Bush in all the hearings they had so far, I don't expect they will find anything new now. Liberals will give Scott his fifteen minutes of fame, then forget about him.

Soros Publisher 'Shaped' McClellan's Hit Job: Other publishers don't recognize it as the same book
An examination of published reports reveals that Scott McClellan's kiss-and-smell betrayal of George W. Bush is a far cry from the book McClellan started out to write and was shaped into an offensive tome by a publisher with close ties to George Soros. To understand how McClellan's literary knife-in-the-back evolved, one has to know something about the book industry. snip
And then there is this clown :(Wexler Screeches For Impeachment Based On McClellan Book)Palm Beaches/ New Yorkers in exile's own Congressional mouth piece !
Wexler is a good example of a complete liberal Congresscritter,large mouth,empty head,Whining voice and lots of Chutzpah, Hebrew word , meaning "insolence", "audacity", and "impertinence".
Saw this in the paper over the weekend, the highlighted portion tells how I think it went down.
A Matter of Loyalty
By Michael Reagan May 28, 2008
It's amazing what some people will do for 30 pieces of silver.
Scott McClellan was given the signal honor of being the spokesman for the president of the United States, a distinction few Americans have ever achieved. Being the spokesman for the world's most powerful political figure is no small thing, and I'm sure that the men and women who have held the post view their service as an honor more given that deserved.
It doesn't appear as if McClellan sees it that way. He is not the first press secretary to be forced out of the job, and he won't be the last. But he'll be the first to sink his teeth into the hand that gave him the job in the first place.
It is a tough job, especially when the spokesman of a president the liberal media despises wears a large bulls eye on his chest. It's an even tougher job when the person who holds the job is clearly not up to it, as was the case with McClellan. He was an easy target for the nastier members of the largely hostile White House Press corps.
His lack of competence is what cost him the job, and it is now obvious that he left the White House burning with resentment over his forced departure. The fact that he had held the job as long as he did obviously created no sense of gratitude for his having been given the post to begin with.
His act of vengeance has delighted the media who once excoriated him. Their onetime foe is now their hero, an ally in their never-ending campaign to portray George Bush, a good and decent man, as a bumbling fool if not an outright criminal.
They greet his alleged revelations with none of the skepticism with which they once treated his pronouncements from the White House press room podium, accepting, for example, his attempt to lay the blame for what Richard Armitage did in leaking the name of Valerie Plame on his old friend and Texas colleague, Karl Rove, and Scooter Libby.
They let out a great cheer when he joins the chorus of Democrats and their media henchmen attributing the Iraq war to sleazy, dishonest and hugely deceptive White House maneuvering when the real facts show otherwise.
As David Horowitz and his co-author Ben Johnson write in "Party of Defeat," George Bush acted solely to enforce a United Nations ultimatum blatantly ignored by Saddam Hussein.
Wrote the authors: "The United States went to war because it had concluded that Saddam Hussein could not be trusted to observe the arms agreement embedded in the UN resolutions. Twelve years of defiance and obstruction leading up to, and including the December 7 deadline had established that fact. Even then, the Bush administration was prepared to forego war if Saddam and his sons left the country and went into exile, thus allowing the terms of the UN resolutions to be met."
Scott McClellan surely knew this but chose to ignore it, preferring to give ammunition to those who want to advance a false view of the conflict's genesis.
In the end, it's all about money. An honest book about his experiences wouldn't sell. If he wanted to sell his book, it had to dish up dirt, even when there wasn't any underfoot.
When I wrote my first book, "On the Outside Looking in," I had publishers waving huge royalties in my face if I would only sling mud at my father. They couldn't understand that there was simply no mud in his life and work, and I wasn't willing to create any for them for the sake of big bucks.
Too bad Scott McClellan, blinded by the glitter of those 30 pieces of sliver, didn't see it that way.I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

It had stepped in to avoid a major escalation of the 2008 war between Georgia and Russia by blocking U.S. ships from entering the Black Sea, made peace with its regional rivals, and, along with Brazil, made a serious stab at a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear crisis. -more-

Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which posed a serious challenge to the work of Parliament, several measures were quickly adopted in order to ensure the continuation of the legislative and democratic life of the EU, while focusing on its response to the COVID-19 crisis. This Thematic Digest contains an overview of the principal debates held by Parliament's committees and delegations, and of the decisions made as a result of their work, following the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Conference of Presidents (CoP) of the European Parliament updated the institution's calendar of activities on 2 July, to take into account the continuing precautionary measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19. The full calendar is available on Parliament's website.
The Fact Sheets on the EU provide an overview of European integration and of Parliament's contribution to that process. They present a brief overview of the EU's institutions and policies, and of Parliament's role in their development. Available in 24 languages, they cover five main areas: how the EU works; economy, science and quality of life; cohesion, growth and jobs; fundamental rights, security and justice; and the EU's external relations. The online version is updated regularly.
Studies, in-depth analyses and briefings produced by Parliament's policy departments and the Economic Governance Support Unit are available online in the dedicated section for Supporting Analyses. Apart from searching specific publications, a selection of papers and upcoming events can be found under "Highlights". A monthly overview of the work of policy departments is given in "Periodicals", with key studies on thematic issues.
In the July Issue of the Policy Departments' Monthly Highlights, LIBE Committee Chair Juan Fernando López Aguilar presents a publication that examines the impact of COVID-19 measures adopted by the Member States on democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights. This edition also features topics related to gender equality, the budget, artificial intelligence, agriculture, and Africa. Forthcoming publications and events are also announced.
