This refers to the Dual Express card. I have a (FusionHDTV7) RT Gold card. On August 1,I received instructions from Steve to: 1. run dscaler regspy under Windows & record values for the wiki page 2. run 'lspce -vnn' in Linux & copy the values to the wiki page. 3. take High Resolution pictures of it for the wiki page 4. Record major components I did the above, except that dscaler does not recognize the RT Gold, and I need more specific instructions for use with 'regspy'. I received a message from the linux-dvb administrator that my reply (including the pictures) exceeded the 2Mb message limit, so I don't know what happened to that information. Additional advice would be appreciated.
