The frontend is an basically an STV0299/TSA5059/SL1925. They have some
information for it. The stv0299 driver supports this frontend. These cards may become
very popular, cause Hercules and new Pinnacle's are made by Twinhan. They are also
very cheap.
The problem i've now is that i can't start playing with them if bttv hangs the
system.

I've contacted them and they send me a driver/application. Problem is that
they are for a very old version of RedHat, and they are nor linux-dvb compatible.

I also own varios Hauppauges, a Siemens Cable Card, a Pinnacle PCTV Sat and a
Skystar 2, but i want to make this VP1030 works in Linux.
