I got it from my dad. Neither he nor I know what it does. If I can MacGyver anything cool from it, I’m all for it! :)

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.

It’s a tv tuner, you can record digital OTA tv on a computer if you want.

Maybe, look into software defined radio

rtl-sdr uses the same chip as dvb-t tuners, but the everything else part is completely different

You might be able to use it as a SDR (software defined radio) but don’t expect a lot more than being able to pick up broadcast FM radio and maybe some ADS-B or ham, though probably not with that antenna
