Todd-

I'm going to need the PCI Subsystem ID of the board that you have...
There are a few different versions of that card floating around, some
OEM versions.

I would guess that you have the 18ac:d200 model, but here are some others:

; 0xD200       Philips1236D + OREN
; 0xD210       TEMIC4402 + OREN
; 0xD220       TEMIC4402 + OREN (OEM1)
; 0xD230       TEMIC4402 + OREN (OEM2)
; 0xD240       TEMIC4402 + OREN (OEM3)

For now, I have assummed that your board is the top listed one... I
have put together an experimental patch based on this, but it will
probably not work.

It looks to me as if this board design is very similar to that of the
bt8xx-based pchdtv card.  You are going to need or51211 firmware,
which I don't know where to get, but it is probably covered in the
dvb-get-firmware script.

I took a bunch of guesses here, but it was a great way to kill some time.

I've included two alternate tuner possibilities in the bttv-cards
struct (commented) If the one that I picked doesnt work, try one of
them.

You're welcome to try it:

http://linuxtv.org/~mkrufky/fusionhdtv2.patch

Expect problems -- just try to capture all the logs and email them to
me -- I'll be able to do more when I get back from vacation.

Cheers,

Mike
