Hi Pradeep, It shouldn't be too hard to add support for this card, I think. If I look at this picture: http://www.aver.com/mpd/1500mce+rt_lgview.jpg I notice a WM chip above the ESMT memory chip. Can you tell me what chip it is? Probably a WM8739 or WM8775. Can you also carefully peel off the label on the tuner tin and see what tuner they used? Usually you will see the actual tuner brand underneath the label. It's probably a Philips (or NXP) type tuner.
