====== Genius TVGo DVB-T03 ======

Petr Jakubec has reported v1.4.2 also works with Genius TVGo DVB-T03. This card
has new hardware revision which utilizes RTL2832U. I've also bought these
tuners, actually to replace RTL-based ones, however I've learned this truth too
late. I've decided to give them a go, so more info on my side about these later
on. Peter has created page at [[http://www.abclinuxu.cz/hardware/pridavne-karty/televizni-karty/dvb-t/usb/genius-tvgo-dvb-t03-wiremote-hw-z-2010|abclinuxu.cz]] 
about this USB stick. Page is written in Czech!

**NOTE:** Beware! There are still [[http://www.abclinuxu.cz/hardware/pridavne-karty/televizni-karty/dvb-t/usb/genius-tvgo-dvb-t03|AF based tuners(link is in Czech language)]] 
out there. I've been able to buy myself one on 15.1.2011. But it might have been some old "on stock" reserve.

===== In the field =====

These cards work just fine with v2.0.1 and probably even with an older version 
of RTL driver. I haven't tested remote control though, as usual. They [cards] 
keep up with Volar X pretty much. Broadcast tower is ~ 65 km away, we have some regular antenna (12dBi I think),
active amplifier and signal is just fine.
