The Xceive XC3028 is a single chip silicon tuner capable of receiving analogue cable, analogue terrestrial, digital cable and digital terrestrial TV (PAL, NTSC, SECAM, DVB-t, ATSC, DVB-c). It is commonly used in USB digital TV receivers for PC and Mac due to its small size and power consumption, but the manufacturer also markets it as suitable for portable TVs and notebook computers.

Its main competitor is the Microtune MT2060.

Support for this tuner has been added in the 2.6.25 Linux kernel.
