Here in Italy, due to the bad reception, non-diversity radio works (well??) only if you don't move your car. I've not tried the diversity antenna (I'm thinking to buy the Pinnacle...) but there are a lot of chances that will work on CF. I'm not 100% sure, but for TV, CF uses WinXP TV core or something similar, so if you can see it in Hardware devices as a TV card it should work...

Bye,
AL

The Cinergy DT USB XS Device is by far the best one I´ve ever seen in this price range.
As the device comes with an BDA driver it seems to be not supported by CF.
I would love to see this as a future enhancement in CF.
DVB-T becomes more and more standard.

It would be great if it was suported

Hi
I have just got this Cinergy Piranha (http://www.terratec.net/en/products/...anha_1668.html) and it also comes with BDA drivers and I'm going/trying to develop a plugin for this device. Maybe you will be able to use it ;-)
You can follow the development of the plugin here:
Plugin for TerraTec Cinergy Piranha (DTT, DAB, T-DMB, DVB-T)

Best regards Kenneth

-> don't buy the Cinergy

instead buy the Pinnacle Dual-DVB-T Diversity same price but it automatically switches to Diversity if Tuner 2 is not used.

The Cinergy diversity needs to be enabled somewhere (in Terratec's App) and this could be a BIG problem for CF !
