Hi,
frustrated that I couldn't watch the Chinese New Years' Fireworks on TVB
Jade using my RTL2832U based DVB-T stick in Hong Kong, I just bought a
MagicPro ProHDTV Mini 2
USB stick. Given that HK is now part of China (somehow), they decided to
follow the mainland DTV standard, so it's DTMB (DMB-T/H) over here.
The package says it only supports Windows, but I never believe the
packaging, and I believe in Linux hackers :)
lsusb -v says:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1b80:d39f Afatech
This looks *very* similar to the RTL2832U, in fact dmesg says it's a
Realtek chip:
[58773.739843] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd
[58773.835657] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b80,
idProduct=d39f
[58773.835665] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[58773.835670] usb 1-1.1: Product: usbtv
[58773.835673] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: realtek
Full lsusb -v output is attached.
It didn't looked very similar than RTL2831U or RTL2832U USB interface.
Very likely different USB interface.
I checked here but it's not listed, but other (PCIe) devices from the
same manufacturer are:

I'm more than willing to get this thing supported under Linux - just let
me know what I can do to help.
I have
a) the stick
b) the Windows driver/software CD (soon as an ISO)
What I can provide is
a) help getting more info on the hardware (taking it apart etc.)
b) provide remote access to a box with the stick plugged in if necessary
c) test new code / patches
First thing to do is identify used chips. Open the box and find out 3
biggest chip. There may be 1, 2 or 3 big chips depending on integration
level.
regards
Antti
