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.
Does this card have a hardware decoder on it? I have 2 Twinham cards, They were the cheapest ones I can find and seems to do the job.
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.
Um, I wouldnt do that then, get another distro and install it with it, you could try the stage 3 gentoo, redhat, or even debian. Mythtv packages exist for all of these.
Knoppmyth is great in that you can turn other computers into tv with out having to rebuild them
Also, the card uses a Connexant chip anf as I understand it, Knoppmyth anf MythTV are set up for bttv chipset ( am I correct?)
Thats wrong, mythv uses any DVB linux tv card
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.
