We will also shortly have the Pinnacle PCTV driver by Peter Hettkamp
in our NEWSTRUCT branch. That's a card with Fusion 878A.
Adding Peters patches got a little delayed because of all the changes
we made (and are still making) in the driver structure.
I guess that ATSC cards with Conexant chips only differ in the Frontend.
