Interesting... This ID is not listed in the windows inf file for the
FusionHDTV driver, version 3.41 ...

Exactly.  The driver does not know about this new device, so it isn't
going to try to mess with it.

Well, you can try this:

edit linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h

change lines 111 and 112 from:

#define USB_PID_DIGITALNOW_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_COLD 0xdb54
#define USB_PID_DIGITALNOW_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_WARM 0xdb55

to:

#define USB_PID_DIGITALNOW_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_COLD 0xdb58
#define USB_PID_DIGITALNOW_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_WARM 0xdb59

...  This will tell the driver not to look for the :db54 device, and to
try :db58 instead.  If this screws up your older dual digital card, then
instead, change lines 109 and 110 from:

#define USB_PID_DVICO_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_COLD 0xdb50
#define USB_PID_DVICO_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_WARM 0xdb51

to:

#define USB_PID_DVICO_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_COLD 0xdb58
#define USB_PID_DVICO_BLUEBIRD_DEE1601_WARM 0xdb59

... don't change all four lines -- that would be redundant.

Basically, there were two different versions of the original dual
digital card, each with the same hardware (actually, four different
versions each with different pll's but lets not get into that now)...
there were two different usb id's in circulation for the same device.

If you change one set of ids to match the usb id's of the new,
FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital2, then the dvb-usb-cxusb driver will know
that it must try to initialize it.

I have written to my contact at DViCO with some questions about this
device.  While we're waiting for his response, please try the suggestion
above.  Please keep in mind that you will need to have the bluebird
firmware present in order for this test to work.

Let me know if the device works properly... If it does, then I'll add a
more appropriate patch to the repository for autodetection.


Good Luck!
