We have been working on getting those chipsets work with our devices. http://sundtek.com/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks/Sundtek-MediaTV-Digital-Home-DVB-CT.html Trident is also still improving the quality of their driver and firmware, it very much makes sense that they handle their driver especially since those DRX drivers are very complex (basically too complex for being handled by the community, the drivers would just end up somewhere unmaintained).
