I finally opened the unit up and found the following: It has 3 main chips: ISSI IS42S32200C1-6TL RKT2540001 0613 MICRONAS G070075B UABG01 HJ5C7-00M 03302006 (No maker listed) CY7C68013A 100AXC 0613 B 04 626114 Found someone on another list that knew a lot about the Dazzle. Turns out the newer chips in my 170 are not supported very well, but the older units are supposed to work pnp. I managed to get my HVR-1950 to work with ivtv-utils and cat. That unit is part of my mythtv setup and I don't really want to mess with it, so I just ordered a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 29032 Rev D158 off of ebay, which is supposed to also work well with Linux.
