[clug] MinTV DVB-T Digital TV Tuner

[Ian Bardsley]

Hi David

As already mentioned by Brett, plug the device in and do the lsusb 
thing. If Linux recognises the device, then try.... grep -i dvb 
/var/log/messages. There are still a number of dvb devices for which 
firmware is required. This command will show whether the device is 
recognised and if the required modules are loaded. LinuxTv.org is a mine 
of information regarding getting these devices working.

If these steps are unsuccessful, you are quite entitled to return the 
product for a full refund as the product was mis-represented to you at 
the time of purchase. The Trade Practices Act is your friend here.

Feel free to post output here if you think I can help.
