First, thanks for all the information!

I should have said that the file 
http://www.technotrend.de/new/217g/tt_budget_217g.zip is not available any 
longer (404), which is why I tried the renamed .dll.

I don't know which of the alternatives at 
http://www.technotrend.de/2692/Tools___Downloads.html could fit. Do you?

Dear Mike, this is waay too much for me. I don't know how to read GPIO output, 
I don't know how to "Hack the driver to pull this bit low" etc. Oh, and I 
currently don't have access to ms windows.

This GPIO stuff is part of the saa713x chip, right? Why can't the GPIO 
settings of another saa7131E/03/G chip be used? Do they have different GPIO 
settings even though they have the exact same name, or am I the first asking 
for saa7131E/03/G-support?

Is there an altruistic (and preferably german) linuxtv/dvb hacker reading 
this? The card was part of http://www.medion.de/md8824/, so I would think 
there should be quite a few people waiting for this card to be supported.

I'd pay for the shipping (to AND BACK ;) If not, I'll just wait.

thanks!
ben
