I think Patrick already has a driver for it?
 
If you could point me towards the driver, that would be awesome.
 
Thanks for all the help !!!

I think that's not really necessary, my one is already open (I could
take a foto if not already available) although I think Patrick already

The usb device includes a hub and shows up 2 more usbids on the host,
one is a storage device, the other one is the dibcom tuner as far as I
