There shouldnt be any problems with tv_grab_au, in the way you suggest, the script doesn't need to be modified I think you have miss configured some thing.
When I get home (in hospital atm), i will sort out some questions to ask you in regards to your system to get it going right.

Hi Bill,
I had it working on FC2 2.6.8.1, 2.6.9, & 2.6.10-rc1.
I have DVICO FusionHDTV-DVB-T to work. But it is one of the most challenging installation I had.
Be warned it is not for the lighthearted. The level of dificulty is mainly due to installation of MythTV. The howto's are silent in many places. I had some notes but disjointed. (There is one job outstanding I am currently doing and that is modifying 'tv_grab_au' utility as it does not work harmoniously with MythTV. It comes up with error looking for --config-file and --configure during MythTVSetup). But it works with others, like tv_grab_jp, tv_grab_na_dd, etc.)
I downloaded the lastest driver from: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/DVICO-Linux/ which is the only site that I know has operational driver for this device. There is a version as of 30/10/2004 but actually it was modified as at 31/10/2004. But the older version at this site works just as well.
I used the howto from http://www.mythtv.org and http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php and lots of late hours. I have to re-compile Linux kernel a number of times to help me figure out what happens if I do this or that. Learn as much as you can as to what happens using 'dmesg' and cat /var/log/messages.
Christopher Pascoe was kind enough to point me to a site once I installed the DVICO driver and MythTV:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/dvb/. But even this site requires plenty of figuring out; trial and error.
If you are looking for a quick and easy installation, forget it. Better to buy a Commercial TIVO. But if you are the one that welcomes challenges and keen to learn, then MythTV is for you.

Hi,
Have had no success trying to get my DVico Fusion HDTV-B card to run under FC2 or Knoppix.
Am considering buying another card fort use in 2nd PC ( in another room).
Please advise of success stories with MythTV ( or any Linux distro) and DVB-T card that matched up and worked "straight out of the box".
Am I wanting too much too easily? (Rhetorical Question).
Thanks
Bill
