I'm working on the DViCO FusionHDTV 5 USB.  I'm still waiting on the=20
tuner and demodulator docs from DViCO.  Once I have that it shouldn't=20
be too long before I release a driver.  Currently with the docs that=20
I have been provided I can upload the firmware, turn on and off the=20
device, and read the remote control buttons.
If someone would like to document the lgdt3302 / lgdt3303 ATSC VSB/QAM=20
demodulator and the lg-h06xf tuner from the Linux source that would=20
help since I don't know when I'm going to get that information from=20
DViCO.  And currently I don't have the time to try to understand the=20
Linux sources, though that's probably what I'm going to end up doing.
