Well, sign me up! I would love to help the efforts to expand device support, but at this point I'm personally blocked by the fact that I have already bought four tuners in the last year, combined with the lack of actual documentation which results in it taking *way* longer than it has to. Sure, I got all four of them to work which is progress, but it would have gone much faster if the docs were available to me and I wasn't laying out my own cash to buy tuners I have no personal use for. I've spent all this time to learn the codebase and I'd like to leverage that knowledge more, but now I have to ask myself, "What am I going to do with four tuners?" Devin -- Devin J.
