I have a Dynalink Magic TView which I think is made by Askey. I can't see
it on the list. I am using type=0

OK, had a couple of guesses, and insmod tuner type=5 got me a picture,
but a really bad one, and only two different pictures on 5 channels. I
guess I will have to try the proper aerial now that I have made some
progress. Also, sometimes the whole thing just freezes and starts spitting
out messages about the device being busy.

But I can't get it to work in Windows either :-(. This is the only piece
of hardware I have which works better in Linux than Windoze. Thanks
for your help Jay!
