For DVB the cx88-dvb module which will give you /dev/dvb/adaptor0/. The card does look the same as the Dvico, is the subdevice number the same ? If the subdevice is the same, no hacking of the driver is required, if the subdevice id is different then thats all you should need to change in cx88-cards.c I had to do this with my kworld card, which is the same as the DNTV-Live but with a different subdevice. Also with kernel 2.6.12-rc3 and maybe earlier? the DVICO Fusion is in all ready so chris patch is not needed, maybe worth a try. Can you post the output of dmesg after modprobing cx88-dvb. When I first got my cx88 dvb card it was not supported, but I could still use the svideo port with v4l device, the cx88xx module just picked it up as a unknown/generic card but worked just fine, for the analog part only.
