    Freecom DVB-T USB stick

    Anyone got this thing to work?

    Reviews say (always) ditch the supplied aerial and go for a "proper" feed. Sound advice.

    The channel scan takes about 5 mins to find 40 odd stations - so the hardware is working.

    The supplied Total Media software causes CPU utilization to go to 100% on a P4 2.8GHz 256MB (or more) VM under VMWare. Sound and vision are "jittery" when running TotalMedia.

    I have googled and the only alternate software DVBViewer does not see the hardware nor drivers in the XP VM - and won't install under Win XP.

    I created a KnoppMyth VM (VMWare ) in an hour but it just loops with a strange Linux "suspend2" fault at start up - doesn't get anywhere near loading any usable software.

    Is there any other XP or Linux software I can try with this device? I have emailed Freecom support but not expecting much sense from them.

    Not tried that device, but for TV, I'm using XawTV. It seems pretty good at identifying stuff. not sure how well it copes with digital since I just feeding it analogue feeds from a few CCTV cameras and a VCR on a tuner card. Works nicely in X on Ubuntu.
