Hi
Can this card be used only for HDtv or can I plug my foxtel (after the decoder box) into it and record stuff ? Are there any box'es that can replace the foxtel box ?
The card might have Video in plug so u can capture from a set top box box but thats a lot of expense (cheaper capture cards exist). The card supports only SD and HD digital via Terrestrial transmitter.
Foxtel digital uses a proprietary encryption method to encode there material and at present known decryption tools, legal or not exist. You have to use a foxtel receiver.
Why not mail Chris directly if u have issues with the driver, I am sure he will respond.

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.
