The latest version of v4l-dvb drivers supports this. May be minor parameter changes are required as mentioned in the components section. Since v4l-dvb is shipped with all latest linux distributions all you may have to do is install some Tv viewing software like tvtime, xawtv etc and start watching right away.
mrec's driver supports this device. Get a copy of his latest em28xx driver and follow the installation instruction at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/em28xx

If you are having an older linux distro you can build the drivers after extacting from the v4l-dvb mercurial repository.

Components Used

  • TNF 5323-MF1/TNF 5323-DF (tuner)
  • Philips TDA9801T (demodulator)
  • NXP/Philips SAA7113M (decoder)
  • Empia em2820 (USB bridge)

Note: The Tuner can be a TNF 5323-DF for PAL B/G markets. By default the driver is loaded with TNF 5323-MF1 as tuner. So if you are having a PAL version you need to pass the tuner parameter to have it working correctly
