A LifeView TV Walker Twin (LR540) ... hoping Nick will upload this pic

It is supported (for further information see below).

Contains 2 tuners and 2 demodulators, and 1 remote control.

The M9206 chip handles two demodulators and two tuners.

The demodulators are located at 7-bit i2c addresses 0x08 and 0x0b. The tuners are located at 7-bit i2c addresses 0x60 and 0x61.

Subsystem information:

USB id: 10fd:0514 (cold - before firmware download)
USB id: 10fd:0513 (warm - after firmware download)

Supported and mostly working. Things which work include:

Device is recognised and two tuners and two demodulators are attached. With the latest driver both tuners are working fine
Can play video streams using Kaffeine
Remote control initialisation and codes have been determined

Things which may not work include:

"scan" only finds some transponders (for Nick Andrew, at least)
Have not successfully used dvbstream yet (though, may be the result of incorrect settings)
