If you have windows with the driver / wintv radio installed, you can try a few stations and see if the "stereo" red sign lights up. If it does and assuming you don 't move the device, then it should find it to be stereo in linux as well. You can actually run the mplayer test in windows if you are so inclined (I know I did). The trick is to use the usbsnoop program from http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/ First tune to a station that wintv radio claims to be stereo. Then close wintv radio, run sniff-usb.exe, Install the service for the PVR-USB 2.0 device, unplug and then replug the usb cable. You should see the log size increasing. Start wintv radio (it will start at the station it was when you closed it), let it play for a while, then close it, uninstall the service, close sniff-usb and reboot. The log is in \windows\usbsnoop.log. Then you can move this log to linux and use the attached slightly modified log2bin.pl (originally from v4l, from marcus IIRC) to extract the mpeg stream from the log. Then finally you can apply the "mplayer test" to this file. I know this could be a little over the top, but if you want to "get your hands dirty" a bit, I 'd sure be the last person to stop you :-) -Pantelis
