I'm owning a USB Tv Tuner Box which I will soon be using again.
The product details is available at:
http://www.supertronindia.com/usb.html
This product uses an eMPIA chipset which from my experience has very very
minimal support in Linux, atm.
I tried contacting the folks at Supertron India for the datasheet but no reply.
So, Don't buy the above product.
If I'm late and you've already bought it, you can get minimal support for this
device by pulling the v4l-dvb tree of Markus Rechberger at http://linuxtv.org
and compiling the drivers.
HTH,
