[linux-dvb] Support for newest DVICO Fusion HDTV Dual Express

[Patrick Claven]

Hi people,

I've got the latest DVICO Fusion HDTV Dual Express. From what I have  
gathered thus far, it has a Conexant cx23885 chipset and an xceive   
xc30xx chipset.

I'm not sure whether it would work with the xc3028 driver, i have  
loaded the xc3028-fe patched module as according to steps outlined  
here: http://fremnet.net/article/228/dvico-fusionhdtv-dual-digital-4- 
under-linux but it has no effect.

I actually have the dual digital 4 card referred to in that article  
running perfectly, but I'm not so naive as to think that my new card  
which is PCIe 1x will work, especially given the fact that I think  
it's a newer xceive chipset than
that in the dual digital 4.

I compiled the very latest v4l-dvb and got the cx23885 module loaded,  
it detects the card as an unknown type, as shown in the following  
dmesg output:

Okay, so if I tell it that its card number 4, it registers the dvb  
adapter0 in /dev/dvb/adapter0 and so forth. However it loads the LG  
tuner chipset that ships with the HDTV5 Express card, so we  
definitely know that won't work.

So to cut a long story short, reading the xceive chipset on the card  
it appears to say xc3008ACQ. This may not mean much to anybody, it  
doesnt to me. So realising this card does not have support under  
linux yet, I primarily would
like to volunteer for testing of this card for anybody brave enough  
to endeavour to get this working.

Thanks a lot, and I hope some of this made sense. This is the first  
time I've posted to any mailing list.

Thanks guys,
