Picostick DVB-T


I wonder if devices with micro-USB ports exist
1) You still need an external power source (e.g. USB hub).
2) You also need an antenna if you want some kind of good signal.
3) The chipset of this USB stick is unknown; hence its unknown how (well) the Linux support is.

Still, seems like a nice device. Just the price is like 80 EUR. I've seen DVB-T USB sticks for 50 EUR.
