Did you try the patch in your quoted email? The only reason that it
hasnt yet been applied to the repository is because it has not yet
been tested.
You can test it without applying the patch by doing the following:
modprobe cx88xx card=17
modprobe cx8800
modprobe cx8802
modprobe cx88-dvb
Does it work? If so, please let us know, and then we can add that
patch into the kernel so that the card may be autodetected by the
driver in the future.

SUCCESS! Now we can add 1 more ATSC card to the supported list.
Using the modprobe command from above and forcing the card=17 option
seemed to make the card load OK. However, since I've never used a tv
tuner card in linux before, it took me a while to figure out all the
dvb-utils and test the card to see if it was working. Since it wasn't
working in MythTV, I went the route of using dvbscan, then I used azap
to tune to a channel.
Then I used the command:
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
and up pops full screen video!
I have yet to get LiveTV in MythTV working, it pops up a blank screen
for a split second, then goes back to the main screen, even though in
the setup it recognizes the card and can scan channels OK.
But it's my understanding that now that I've gotten to this point that
the card will work and it's just a matter of getting the right
configuration in MythTV.
Thanks for all your help Mike, hopefully it won't be long before this
card is natively recognized in the kernel.

ps.
The card I have is the Fusion 3 Gold (18ac:d800), which is different
than the Gold-Q or the Gold-T model that's been currently suported as
of 2.6.13.
Great! Thank you for the report. I have added autodetection support
for your card to my tree, located at:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/cx88
I will have this pushed into 2.6.18
About your mythtv problem, it sounds like you didnt give yourself proper
database permissions on the frontend machine. (just a guess -- i too,
had the same problem at first)
