USB TV tuner - generic driver ?

Hi chaps, newbie here, not a big deal but I bought off ebay (OK I know) a usb tv tuner stick, it came in a box with only DVB on the front, the stick itself has only DVB-T USB 2.0 on it, there's an aerial but no software, anyone know of any generic drivers that might work with it please ? Regards Roger

usb tv stick generic driver

Hi me again, didn't know whether this would be put back (it was moved to the Mac bit 'cause I didn't make it clear, 'cause I'm an idiot, that whilst I'm mainly a Mac person this question relates to an issue with an Advent netbook ... Windows XP):

Re: USB TV tuner - generic driver ?

you might have to open it up to see what chip(set) it has inside then search for drivers for whatever you find

Re: USB TV tuner - generic driver ?

Thanks so much one and all, I think I'll cut my losses and accept that I've learnt a lesson as it seems pretty impossible to identify the device.

Good of you all to take the time. Roger
