A hybrid mulitple [[frontend]] (MFE) [[DTV|Digital TV]] USB 2.0 device, by [[Hauppauge]], featuring reception capabilities for [[ATSC USB Devices|ATSC, ATSC-M/H]] and [[DVB-T_USB_Devices|DVB-T]].

It is supported under Linux; since kernel 3.2 for ATSC & DVB-T and kernel 3.5 for ATSC-M/H support.

==Overview/Features==
* Very nice form factor (i.e. has a small physical footprint).  
* A first of a kind type of device -- supports both DVB-T and ATSC (as well as the M/H subset) ... Note: this dual support is only available under Linux (Windows drivers will only expose the digital TV standard relative to the location it was purchased i.e. ATSC in N.A, DVB-T in Europe) 
* Has a built-in, telescoping, aerial  (i.e. a "whip" antenna)
* Credit card sized IR remote control (battery included), with the Aero-m itself sporting an IR receiver on its front
* Port for external antenna attachment (RF cable adapter plug included)
* Removable cap for the USB 2.0 connector
* USB 2.0 extension cable (roughly 13inches; one foot usable length once you plug both ends in)
* Windows driver CD and Installation guide

===Components Used===
* [[MaxLinear MxL111SF]] SoC
** tuner
** DVB-T demodulator 
** USB 2.0 bridge
*''LG DT3305 demodulator (D)''
* ''LG LG2161 demodulator (D-m)''

===Identification===
The output of ''lsusb -v'' reveals that the device has a subsystem ID of: 2040:c61b
