Hi Malcolm,

first of all, thanks for all your effort making Linux drivers available for the LME2510/LME2510C based devices. I also own one of those with the non-SHARP / non-LG tuner.

I did further digging and found that the chipset used for tuner/demodulation is actually named M88RS2000 (double "8" instead of 8B). I've confirmed that via several google searches as well as looking into my pcb with a magnifier (picture attached). It is manufactured by Montage Tech, with some product info in the links below (nothing too technical, unfortunately):
http://www.montage-tech.com/products_DTV.htm
http://www.montage-tech.com/Product_RS2000.html

I've sent them an email (infosk@montage-tech.com) asking for info that could help us on building a linux driver for their product. Haven't received any reply  yet.

So it seems such model of the DM04 is a combination LME2510C+M88RS2000.

I had mine running under windows for a day or so without failure due to heat. However I could let it run for longer if that would help with troubleshooting the issue you found with your driver. I also offer myself to alpha-test your linux driver in one of my mythtv linux boxes. Just let me know if that could help.

Thanks a lot!
