DViCO FusionHDTV II

There are actually two versions of this card, and both are presently unsupported. However, there is a good chance that both can be made to work. Those wishing to enable support should inquire on the dvb mailing list. See the following mailing list thread for some further detail: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-May/010072.html

Upon physically inspection of your card, you will see:

• a big label that says "DViCO FusionHDTV II" on the metal tuner module
• the PCI interface chip "conexant Fusion 878A"
• the "oren OR51211" demodulator

You should be able to determine the version of your card by either looking underneath the Fusion sticker on the tuner module to confim the actual tuner used or via the output of 'lspci' with the -v or -vn switches.

There are a couple of variants in regards to the PCI ID:

• dbc0:d200
• 18ac:d200

Example lspci output:

0000:02:05.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
        Subsystem: Unknown device dbc0:d200
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
        Memory at d9000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

0000:02:05.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
        Subsystem: Unknown device dbc0:d200
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18
        Memory at d9001000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

This card requires a firmware file (dvb-fe-or51211.fw) for the demodulator, which can be obtained from the LinuxTV downloads section. Alternatively, one can also obtain the firmware file by using the get_dvb_firmware perl script included with kernel sources:

# cd /[kernel source directory]/Documentation/dvb/
# perl get_dvb_firmware or51211

Either way, once the download is complete, place a copy of the firmware file in your /lib/firmware directory.

As an aside, although they differ in board design and layout, this version of the FusionHDTV II card shares the same functional components as the pcHDTV HD-2000 card.
