A 27 MHz crystal to generate a 54 MHz MPEG clock and other clocks.
Full support for your board should be doable. There will probably be
some nagging questions about details - what GPIO lines need to be set
for line in audio or FM radio - but base functionality should be easy to
achieve.

Don't take the tuner can apart. I know what parts may be in there, but
opening up the can won't be terribly help. We'll just make some guesses
and the tuner will work OK.
The actual tuner can part number would have been on the small
rectangular sticker on the top of the can. Can you read through the
back of it, since it probably lifted off with the Avermedia sticker?

OK. I'll still make a guess.

Sure, give me a day or two. Iwon't have time to work on this for a few
days, but I already have a test repository set up for when I have
patches for you:
