DViCO

DViCO produces DVB-T, DVB-S (mostly sold in Australia), and ATSC cards (mostly sold in the US and Korea).

The ATSC frontend of the DViCO cards has been tested with 8-VSB (OTA) and QAM-256 (Cable) in the US. Source code is in video4linux + dvb-kernel CVS and kernel sources 2.6.13 and later for Gold, 2.6.15 and later for Lite.

Once the card decodes the analog broadcast signal, the result is a MPEG-2 transport stream in all 3 cases. So in theory software should not be able to tell the difference between them; the same software should work for all of them. But this is speculation right now ...

DViCO video cards include:

• DViCO FusionHDTV II (still a DVB cards requiring definition)
• DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T1, DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite: Supported DVB cards
• DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-S (see PCI devices DVB-S)
• DViCO FusionHDTV USB (see DVB_USB#DViCO_FusionHDTV_USB)
• DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-Q, DViCO FusionHDTV 3 GOLD-T, DViCO FusionHDTV 5 GOLD, DViCO FusionHDTV 5 LITE, DViCO FusionHDTV 5 USB GOLD (see ATSC cards)
