It's a dual digital TV tuner that includes an IR receiver. It plugs into
a PCI slot, but registers two USB devices and an input driver.

The hard drive on that box died on me and I'm just about to install a
new one so I can only say from memory right now. I think I'd better wait
until I do the reinstall before I say too much. I do believe you're
right though - I took a brief look and think there was no suspend or
resume support.

I'll get back to you as soon as I have more info - thanks for taking an
interest!

Nigel
