I tried the advice of both of the replies that I got below. I get the following in dmesg.

Originally a friend helped me by getting setting up the system to look for the old dvico fusion 5 card.
I put
options cx23885 card=4
in /etc/modprobe.d/options. The system would recognize that I had a card with two feeds, but I could get channels on the scan. I commented out this line and then tried installing the deb package, but lost support of the card.
I tried installing from source, but that didn't help. I tried installing the firmware as recommended, but it still didn't help.
At some point it recognized only one feed, still couldn't get channels on the scan. Then I lost the card completely. I admit that I just started trying suggestions and was probably not systematic enough. I may need to scrap the install and start over. Since the box is new, that is not a big deal. It probably wouldn't take very long to reinstall.
I have some questions. Will there be support for both tuners? The old driver seemed to support 2, so I would hope the new one would too. Will this card not work with analog channels or has support just not been written yet? If I do have analog channels, what should the settings be? Would one of those digital converter boxes make it a digital signal? (That is probably a dumb question, but this is not really my area.)
Thanks for all of your help.

Tim,
The support that I added in was for a the DViCO DVB-T Dual Express, not the
FusionHDTV7.
However there may be good news for you...
If your card is the FusionHDTV7 Dual Express there is support for this card
in the main tree (only one DVB tuner at the moment). This may not help you
as you stated that you needed analog support.
The easiest way for you to get the newest DVB drivers is to go to this
webpage:
http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/packaged-dvb-t-drivers-for-ubuntu
-804/
You may need to install some firmware as well (you can tell if you need to
get the firmware by an error message in the syslog [accessed by typing
"dmesg" in a terminal], this error will only show up after you try to scan
or tune to a channel. If you need firmware goto:
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/
and follow the instructions inside the files (extract.sh and readme.txt).
Give that a go then come back, with any issues to the mailing list.
Perhaps you could create a wiki page on: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php
with all the relevant information on it, for an example checkout:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Dual_Express
And if you do make the page, update this page while you are at it:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO
and also: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_Cards

Stephen.

See http://linuxtv.org/repo for info about installing the driver into your running kernel.
Support for the card will be available out-of-the-box in the unreleased kernel 2.6.27
