My stick is Art. no. 27442, May 2006 so I guess those drivers are not suitable, I did have a look before posting here.

OK so here's what's happened so far.

Plug stick in, system sees it but then 'unknown device'. Try to update drivers by pointing to the driver directory, 'no better match found'.

If I uninstall the 'USB unknown device' then add hardware->new hardware and then point to the driver directory the stick installs and I get a 'freecom USB Digital-TV receiver' in device manager.

If I open the installed Total Monitor program and then click on 'TV' I get a BSoD with the error in BDA_CAPTURE_225.sys

OS XP Pro SP2

Thanks for the advice so far.
I've got one of those Freecom sticks lying about - they are decent with Windows Media Center.

Anyway for XP, your going to have to install the Freecom Program; but as you have stated, you have no CD for it; so if it is possible, try downloading Arcsoft TotalMedia or Cyberlink PowerCinema and use this driver:

If you do manage to find your CD, install the software via the cd (including the DVB Viewer) and install this driver:
