Hauppauge Nova-T USB stick -- now what?
Dear All
This morning I received a second-hand USB stick which consisted of
the stick
a USB extension cable plus USB plug/socket
a mini antenna
No instructions of any sort.
I plugged the USB stick into a USB slot on the front of the computer and
checked dmesg which gave the following:

-----------------------------------------
As you can see, the Nova-T stick was recognised by the kernel and an IR
Remote Control driver registered. Unfortunately, I have not received a
remote control.
I have a number of questions:-
1. With NO remote control, how do I control the device?
2. What do I have to do to get TV reception?
3. Do I have to buy any more hardware? eg, should I buy the device
new so that I get all the relevant h/w?
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely
