It’s a stick for recieving digital TV.
TrekStor is an old Aldi brand form the 2000s, if I remember correctly. So you probably live in Europe. That means that the device most likely doesn’t work anymore since around 2008. European broadcasters switched from DVB-T to DVB-T2 back then. I don’t know whether you can recieve anything with it today, I had to upgrade to a news set at that point in time.

Ah well… Thanks for the info! 😊 it showed up as Afatech DVB-T 2 when I listed it in Linux with
lsusb, but this page says it’s ancient. 😅 It goes to the dump then. 😁 I’m buying some LoRa device soon anyway. I’ll play around with that instead.kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It still works, don’t toss it. You can use software with it and tune in lots besides DVB. Like radio, ACARS, VHF, whatever.

Sic! I did some searching, and some of these packages seem to hold some functionality, but I’m 110% in the dark here.
