I am telling you that this device is already supported -- You must use kernel version 2.6.26 or later, *or* you can use the latest modules from linuxtv.org with your older kernel. Check the howto for info about how to install the drivers: http://linuxtv.org/repo ...and yes -- your stick does support QAM.
