We merged support for the device into the official vanilla kernel 
2.6.27, which means that all distributions based on 2.6.27 or later will 
have support.

Support was added to the dvb-usb-cxusb driver, which uses the linux-dvb 
standard API.  Any linux-dvb standard compliant application will work 
with the device.

As I understand it, not very good.  I helped Daniel merge the code, but 
I don't have one of these devices of my own -- if you'd like to send me 
one, I can test it out myself and make improvements as necessary.  We 
suspect that the issue lies in driver for the MaxLinear tuner.

If you want to send me a device, please email me privately off-list and 
I'll give you a mailing address.

I'm a bit busy right now -- lets keep it on email.  If this is a private 
matter, please feel free to email me privately off-list.  mkrufky at
