Comment 5 for bug 229879

The FusionHDTV DVT-T Dual Digital is different fromt he Dual Express - The Dual Express is a PCI-Express card

DVICO makes two USB/PCI cards - the Dual Digital (2), which has an actual USB port (that's the one I have, and i think the one you have?) and the dual digital 4 which has a pci -> usb bridge for the USB tuner.

I'm also running ubuntu 8.04 server and having the same problem Anders is having - the PCI tuner loads fine:

[ 67.505751] cx88/2: cx2388x MPEG-TS Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded
[ 67.505886] cx88[0]: subsystem: 18ac:db50, board: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital [card=44,autodetected]
[ 67.505889] cx88[0]: TV tuner type 4, Radio tuner type -1
[ 67.511394] cx88/0: cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.6 loaded

but the USB one gives error messages after it loads:

[ 69.092019] dvb-usb: found a 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

(so the firmware is loading fine, but then)

... and so on.

I'm going to try the desktop kernel as i notice Anders is also running the server kernel. Will post my findings shortly.
