An ATSC USB 2.0 device from AVerMedia.
It is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.27 [1]

- Cypress FX2LP (CY7C68013A)
Identification
From lsusb: ID 07ca:a868 AVerMedia Technologies, Inc. Tested device was in a opaque metallic black case. AVerMedia's website shows a unit with a translucent blue case that may differ.

Using a kernel > 2.6.27, required modules are:
- dvb_core
- dvb_usb
- dvb_usb_cxusb
- lgdt330x

No firmware is needed, the EZUSB chip appears to load via I2C from an EEPROM. Device must be connected to a USB 2.0 port to function.
Other Notes
This card seems to be universally on clearance and/or significantly marked down on both auction and common retailer's sites. Perhaps discontinued?
