<div>While not DVB experience, I tried 3 different hauppauge devices and only one works.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>USBPVR2.</div>

<div>Don't confuse this device with the WinTV USB2 which doesn't work. Debian Etch and Knoppmyth finds the device, creates /dev/video0 and /dev/vbi0. It even sets up easy in mythtv-setup. But actually watching tv errors out "can't access /dev/video0. tvtime works (and looks great btw) kdetv doesn't work, same error as mythtv.

<div>Hauppauge's HDTV usb stick doesn't work in the US either. Supposedly this does work in DVB mode. There's a link over in the usbpvr2 driver mailing list archive from this month that will get you to the driver. The new driver breaks other usb v4l2 devices though so, for example you can't have a pvrusb2 device and the hdtv device on the same machine.

<div>You need to build a kernel from source on the machine to build usbpvr2. The guy has excellent docs, so it's not too bad if you are okay compiling kernels. Nice, low cpu overhead when using this device. FYI there's no /dev/vbi0 in the driver yet.
