Just FYI there´s two parts on that string, the "vid" (vendor ID) and
the "pid" (product id)

Vendor ID "1b80" is listed at the usb device id database
as "Afatech" although the product ID is not listed (although all the
products on that section seem to be Digital TV tuners).

1b80  Afatech
	c810  MC810 [af9015]
	d393  DVB-T receiver [RTL2832U]
	d396  UB396-T [RTL2832U]
	d397  DVB-T receiver [RTL2832U]
	d398  DVB-T receiver [RTL2832U]
	d700  FM Radio SnapMusic Mobile 700 (FM700)
