It is an ATSC USB receiver that decodes both regular ATSC and the upcoming ATSC-MH standard. I am mainly concerned with the ATSC half of it as it has the latest LG chip, meaning it is likely one of the best tuners available at present. This tuner scans in as 2040:c61b and does not seem to work in Linux at present, though it is detected in dmesg. I spoke with a friend who works for a broadcaster and he said: "I did some more checking and see that the MXL5007 does have a Linux driver. That's the tuner that's used in the MXF111 so it shouldn't need a lot of rewrite. The only thing that needs all new code is the USB interface portion of the MXF111." This gave me hope that maybe at least the ATSC side could be made to work with Linux without much trouble. I am not a programmer and know basically nothing beyond web coding, but I was wondering if someone could perhaps put some time into getting this up and running. I am glad to provide any output that is required and perform any testing that is requested. Thanks, all. =) - Trip
