For those who are interested in such a solution: http://support.sundtek.de/index.php/topic,2.0.html http://sundtek.de/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks/Sundtek-MediaTV-Pro.html There's a fully supported solution available for Linux already, it also includes online Linux support. The installation of the drivers can't be easier. Best Regards, Markus > Meanwhile, Terratec has dicontinued the Cinergy HTC USB XS HD, but what about > the H5?
