Does anyone know which USB TV sticks work well (plug & play if possible) on Ubuntu, I'm using 10.04LTS Lucid Lynx and know enough to be dangerous if playing with the Terminal!

Six months in a hot, dusty and sand-fly infested far flung country without my bike, shouldn't have signed on the dotted line I suppose...........................

Worked when I set up a MythTV media centre, but I only used it for a few days, but still works in a Windows PC.

Gents thanks very much for the links. beamers, tried that one and I can get it cheaper from Amazon etc before I go, just want to be sure that the one I get works on Ubuntu. Don't want to be 'Billy no mates' with no TV during the World Cup and F1 season!

I guess the link I provided caters for the person who hasn't got their TV admin squared away before they go and want a quick fix when they arrive.
