AverMedia AverTV Hybrid Volar Max (H826D)
I bought an AverMedia usb tuner stick. It works really well in Ubuntu 9.04 with the driver provided on their web site. I get above 30 digital channels with an external antenna. I am 10 miles from DC. After enjoying some crisp HD pictures (1080i) and the 5.1 digital surround audio free over the air (OTA) what better thing to do than to open it up and see what is inside?

The driver is available here:

I use linux (ubuntu 9.04) . It works great.
To play the tv I use mythtv which is a really capable PVR software.
Earlier I had some success with kaffeine also.
Let me know if you have difficulties.
friends i live in Ghana but i have this product can i use in here in Ghana.

Hi,
You could use it if the television transmission in Ghana is either ATSC (ie. digital) or NTSC (ie. analog) .
My search in google suggests that Ghana uses the PAL system. So it might not work for you.
However, AVerMedia A301, A306 and A316 all support PAL .
Good luck
