The DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual Express is an ATSC PCIe card from DViCO. Its digital TV functionality has been supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.27, but analog support is not yet implemented.

Overview/features

Able to deliver two digital channels, or one analog channel and one digital channel.

Components used

  • Conexant CX23885 PCIe bridge
  • Xceive Dual XC5000ACQ tuner (analog and digital)
  • Samsung S5H1409 or S5H1411 demodulator 1

Note 1: The first revision of this board uses the S5H1409 whereas the later revision uses a S5H1411. Note that the PCI subsystem ID is the same for both boards. [1]

Making it work

Firmware

The driver requires the standard xc5000 firmware (dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw).

Drivers

As of 20 September 2008, the drivers for the DVB side only have been incorporated into the main v4l-dvb tree, these will eventually be included into the Linux kernel.

Driver test results

  • Successful tuning of QAM 256 and QAM 64 channels
  • Successful tuning of ATSC/OTA channels
