Finding DVB-T Driver

driver

I have a DVB-T dongle which has following information:

  Product ID:   0x9016
  Vendor ID:    0x15a4  (Afa Technologies, Inc.)

After googling these information I found out the chip model used in this device: Afatech AF9015. I could not find a driver (even a generic one) for it, would you know how to find it?

It appears unlikely an OS X driver is available but you may have success with Linux.

You could use a virtual machine such as VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox to test the approaches linked below:

Television with Linux

The LinuxTV community develops and maintains the Linux Kernel Media Subsystems and several userspace libraries and applications.

The Linux Kernel Media Subsystems provides support for devices like webcams, streaming capture and output, analog TV, digital TV, AM/FM radio, Sofware Digital Radio (SDR) and remote controllers. It offers native support for a large number of drivers for commonly available PCI cards and USB devices, but the subsystems are also targeted towards Linux based set-top-boxes and embedded devices, like mobile phones.
