	Comments & quirks
Medion MD 95700 4in1	USB2.0	Conexant CX22702		Inner circuits (tuner)
	The box also has a X10 remote control. This is radio, not IR, and is supported by the ati remote driver. It also has a USB2.0 hub (Tetrahub) with one additional USB port. Both of them are working without mains power.

Firmware

There is a new firmware, version 1.0.2.14, for the MD 95700 from Medion. You can download it directly: [1] (in German). Please read the Readme before you flash the box.

This update fixes some video problems, but it is incompatible with the old dvb-usb drivers (i.e. kernels from 2005). If you use your box under Windows, don't forget to ensure that the Windows drivers are up to date too.

Analog TV tuner

The analogue part seems to be handled by a Conexant CX25842. It's kernel driver is cx25840, although for some reason on 2.6.24 it doesn't get detected.

LIRC configuration

1. remove the kernel driver ati_remote when you want to use lirc. you can do it by blacklisting it or recompiling your kernel (check your distro's infos on that)
2. set up lirc and the kernel drivers (you'll need the lirc_atiusb module) according to what your distro says.
3. use the following for /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (or however it's named in your distro):
