Well with enough effort anything would be possible, but the better 
question is if the effort makes sense.  I don't know enough about this 
other device to really know the answer to that.

If you were to look back through the history of this driver, its 
principle reason for being is to handle hardware that has a cx23416 (or 
equiv) mpeg encoder chip which is hosted over USB using a Cypress FX2 
microcontroller.  Those are the common elements for every case where 
this driver currently works.  Even for cases like the HVR-1950 where 
there's work going on to support the digital side, those other elements 
are still there.

If this new device were similar enough to fit that description, then 
perhaps it could work.  But I really know very little about the device 
and nobody (who would really know) has suggested to me that it might be 
possible.  So I'm inclined to answer no :-(
