[linux-dvb] Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express

[Joseph Shraibman]

I too am having 0 signal strength with a Fusion HDTV 7 Dual Express.  scan 
(from dvb-apps) does find channels, but my application won't work because 
it is seeing no signal.  I tried rebuilding the drivers from repository 
tip but it doesn't help.  The kernel I'm using is 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686. 
lspci -v shows:

after "make load" in the v4l-dvb directory  dmesg shows:
