fusion hdtv dual express 2

After confirming that it was supported I just bought a fusion hdtv dual express PCI adapter, only to find that I'd bought the 'dual express 2' version, which isn't supported (not the first time I've made such a mistake).

This page http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Dual_Express2 says that the new v2 card is still using CX23885 chipset but also uses DIB7070 (dib7000 + dib0070) which appears to be supported already but only via a few USB adapters.

With a bit of cut and paste I have added some support for the card, to the point that dvbtune now says:

# dvbtune -f 550500000 -bw 7 -c 2 -cr 3_4 -gi 16 -tm 8 -I 1 -m -i

^C

Which all looks correct at the start, but obviously not as it can't actually read the information in the dvb streams.

Is it likely that getting it working only requires a small amount of further tinkering, or am I likely wasting my time? I know next to nothing about dvb and how it all hangs together.

Thanks

James
