Every software eventually works. I'm kind of in a rush right now. I didnt have time to read your whole email, but I just need to point out that your method is flawed. #1, as i think I already stated in my previous email, you *need* to use the v4l-dvb mercurial repository if you want the FusionHDTV7 to work. #2, if you are passing card=4, then THAT is why it is not working. FusionHDTV7 is *not* card 4. Dont pass anything, let it autodetect.
