To expand on Steven's comments, the following page has the list of
supported USB devices:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_USB_Devices#Supported_ATSC_USB_Devices

Pay particular attention to the entries with footnote #1, which are
devices such as the 950Q where the hardware supports analog but the
driver does not.  This is actually a pretty common problem with the
newer class of devices that support ClearQAM.

Devin
