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.
This is the information I got from Guy with my annotations about
frequencies on the bottom:

does it all.
(this is for the center of israel, for the north and south the
