Occasionally, yes - I can do, and generally it's fairly trivial, but
since I don't have access to all this hardware myself, unless
someone's willing to test it there's not much I can do. In fact, I
just added untested support for the card to
http://www.makomk.com/hg/v4l-dvb-em28xx. You'll need to "modprobe
em28xx card=17", though, since your device uses a generic USB ID and I
can't add autodetection without a copy of the dmesg output when
loading the driver without card=17. (Also, while my version of the
driver should in theory support DVB-T, the v4l-dvb version doesn't and
probably won't any time soon.)

Also, you might be able to get it working with v4l-dvb-experimental by
passing "card=94" to saa7134. No guarantees, though.
