Just been playing with the V-Gear PocketDTV made by Asiamajor. Works very nice, only needed a 8K firmware download, prompted by the the log entry in /var/log/syslog (from dmesg). Comes with a small but robust looking whip antenna (for city use only with VHF I would guess), as well as taking the standard Belling-Lee antenna connection. It has a tiny infrared remote which kaffeine seems to understand (though channel +/- seems to control the volume). I am guessing that this can be tweaked via LIRC. For what it is worth on my Compaq 2GHz notebook, kaffeine uses about 30% CPU when display SD-TV. It seems to lose a few frames playing HD-TV (but this might be cause my signal level isn't great - as I am slightly bush).

Hello to one and all, Can anyone suggest a good Linux compatible usb TV system??? Preferably working on both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, but certainly on the 2.6 kernel. Again, preferably out of the working. I would like to purchase one in the next coup;e of weeks. So... Any help would be most welcome.
