Nb: there was a lingering problem w/linux support for these that I
finally got around to tracking down just a few weeks ago. Updated
patches are now in the hands of the lgdt3305 driver maintainer,
through whom the support for these sticks need to get merged, as its
highly dependent on some major code additions I made to the lgdt3305
driver (to support the lgdt3304 atsc demod). So maybe it'll finally be
supported upstream by the time 2.6.35 rolls around... (Both my UB435-Q
and 340U sticks work pretty much flawlessly with both cable and ota
signals now).
