The DViCO FusionHDTV5 RT Gold is an ATSC PCI card. It is supported under Linux.
Components used on this card:
- LG Innotek TDVS-H064F (NIM)
- Infineon TUA6034 (tuner)
- Philips TDA9887 (analog IF demodulator)
- LG DT3303 (digital demodulator)
- Conexant CX23883 (A/V Decoder & PCI bridge)
- Intersil isl1208 (RTC)
- PIC16F73 (external audio adc)
The PIC16F73 is currently unsupported, so audio from external analog sources (a/v inputs) will not work.
The card comes with a remote control. While the earlier FusionHDTV5 Gold model made use of an USB based IR receiver, the RT model provides a newer, and much smaller/less obtrusive (and easier to hide), IR receiver which makes use of the cx88's native input handling capabilities -- the receiver cord plugs into the A/V dongle, which in turn plugs into the card and the signal is routed to the cx88 for processing. For now, you will have to use the latest drivers from the LinuxTV Hg repository to obtain support for the remote. (Note: make sure that you remove the former modules first, and, when you load the new modules, that the ir-kbd-i2c module is loaded. Also note that, if it is not obvious, a LIRC driver is not required in order to use this IR receiver. "Out of the box" support for the remote will be included in kernel 2.6.24.
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).
