I also have a DVico Fusion HDTV-B digital tv card ( purchased from Adelong Computers - www.adelong.com.au), which works well under WinXP except for Recording/PVR software.

I also am about to try using it with Knoppmyth, which I have just downloaded, however I need to get a new HDD as Knoppmyth apparently requires that the installation be to hda - wouldn't install to SATA drive.

Also, the card uses a Connexant chip anf as I understand it, Knoppmyth anf MythTV are set up for bttv chipset ( am I correct?)

A driver for the Connexant chip is available from http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/DVICO-Linux/ .

Any info on your success or otherwise would be appreciated.

Hey all,

I just purchased a FusionHDTV card, which I'll be installing this
evening. I envisage three use cases for it:

1. Watching TV where I'm sitting in front of the computer.
2. Recording streams off the thing to watch when I have time.
3. Streaming data across the network so I can watch it on (say) my
laptop.

Is anyone doing any of this stuff, and if so what software are you using
to do it? Does it work well? Caveats?

I'm currently thinking that I'll use mplayer for (1), vlc for (2) and
maybe mencoder for (3), but I'm not really sure yet.

Thanks,

James.
