I probably should elaborate a little.
I have two mythtv servers, one is in production with the two Dual
Digital 4 PCI cards. I believe they are v2, and tht machine is running
perfectly.

Now I did have the PCIe cards in that machine at one stage, but they
played up sufficiently that I removed them and decided to revisit the
issue at a later date.
I have recently built a development mythtv machine. It was installed
with Ubuntu 9.04 but I have updated to the development tree of Ubuntu
9.10 to preview Mythtv 0.22, which looks quite nice I might add.
My dev mythtv machine has the following

I am using the v4l stuff included in Ubuntu 9.10 Dev and I have
extacted the necessary firmware using Steven Toths method
(extract_xc3028.pl on HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip)
I think the issue is in the firmware, as the frontends seem to behave
correctly.
I have created the initial scanning data for my area

Done.
Doing the same procedure using the Dual Digital 4 on the other machine
works perfectly.
I have also dual-booted a machine about a year ago with Linux/Windows
XP media centre. Under media centre the card worked perfectly, and
under linux, it displayed the same behaviour I now see. This would
appear to rule out RF rig issues and weak signal. When I performed
these tests, I could see the antenna directly pointing to the TV
tower, which I could also visually see.
Since this seems to be an obscure problem, I'm not sure that there is
enough critical mass to fix it.

I have some issues with what I think is the same card, I'm in Sydney,

I also have the DViCo Fusion Dual Digital 4 rev 1. (setup details at

At first when I scanned I could not get the SBS HD transport.
Sometime between 28 Jun and 19 July I stopped being able to tune
anything from channel 9 as well. This does not appear to have been
triggered by a v4l code change, I did not
pull from the tree in that time frame.
The symptom I see when it "fails" is that mythv reports some signal,
but it fails to get lock.
When I try to rescan, I get weird errors - after mythtv-backend stops,
I start getting USB errors of this kind:

At this point, the channel scan stalls out and the machine is very
sluggish because of the DoSing of the USB bus. To recover I have to
halt the machine and bring it up again.
It's unclear to me if it is a problem with the Dual DIgital 4 or the
Dual Digital Express.
This appears to be a longstanding issue, existing from 2.6.26 (my
kernel) through to 2.6.30 (see
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg08244.html)
I attempted to avoid the power cycling of the card by loading the
tuner module with
options tuner_xc2028 no_poweroff=1
in /etc/modprobe.d/options, but with this option turned on I was
unable to receive any stations.
Alex, just to confirm we have the same card could you post the PCI
IDs?
When the card is detected I see in syslog:

I bought several of these cards over a year ago thinking that they
worked under Linux, but I found that while the cards seem to work
flawlessly for some people, in some geographic locations, they don't
work for me in Goulburn NSW pointing to Mt Gray.
I have a mythtv backend with 2 x Dvico Dual Digital 4 PCI cards and
they are working perfectly, but the Dual Express cards will not tune
all transports. It seems that Prime and TEN hardly get enough signal
to tune.
I have done some tests, and under Windows with MCE the cards work
perfectly using the same antenna
I've heard that these cards have some sort of pre-amp that isn't
getting turned on in Linux. This might be part of the issue. I have
tried increasing signal amplification, but that degrades the other
signals that are working ok without the extra amp.
If anyone can shed some light, I would be very appreciative
