The DViCO FusionHDTV5 Express is an ATSC PCIe card.

Support for the card's digital TV reception capabilities (8-VSB & 64/256-QAM) is currently provided within the latest drivers from the LinuxTV Hg repository, and should make its way into the 2.6.24 kernel. Analog support will be added in the near future, but it will likely be too late for inclusion into 2.6.24.

Components used on this card:

  • LG Innotek TDVS-H062F (NIM)
    • Infineon TUA6034 (tuner)
    • Philips TDA9887 (analog IF demodulator)
    • LG DT3303 (digital demodulator)
  • Conexant CX23885 (A/V Decoder & PCIe bridge)
  • Intersil isl1208 (RTC)


The card comes with a remote control. Similar to the FusionHDTV5 RT Gold, support for the IR receiver is handled by the card's decoder (the CX23885) -- the IR receiver chord plugs into the A/V dongle, which in turn plugs into the card and the signal is routed to the cx23885 for processing. If it is not obvious, this means that a LIRC driver is not required in order to use this IR receiver.

The "RT" functionality has been added to the device drivers, but in order for end users to make use of this feature, application level support is also required (i.e. time to bug the developer(s) of your favourite PVR software to include this feature).
