This is a relatively new model card. It's PCIe X 1 (yes, that little tiny slot on the mobo). It uses something called a "Unified Capture" driver.

I downloaded GraphEdit and got a graph to build (I would attach my .GRF, that that extension isn't allowed).

So I tried to update capturecarddefinitions.xml thusly:

  <capturecard commercialname="FusionHDTV Express" capturename="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8852&amp;subsys_d50018ac&amp;rev_02">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="5" sectionsandtables="1"/>
      <filters>
        <filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft ATSC Network Provider"        checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="tunerdevice"     name="FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner"					checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="capture"         name="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture"   checkdevice="true"/>
      </ilters>
      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice"	sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice"     sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"		sinkpin="0"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

But MP doesn't find my card, so I think I have done something wrong.

I should add that the card does work using DVICO's software; I am just looking around to see what MP has to offer.

Constructive suggestions are always appreciated.

Yep I have the dual digital model and tried new drivers (3.60.01) . Mediaportal and MCE will not detect the card although dvico's own software will. Went back to 3.50.02 drivers and all is fine. However only detects one card not the other.

This works for the my fusion card with 3.60 drivers.

  <capturecard commercialname="Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Plus 3.60" capturename="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture1" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8800&amp;subsys_db1018ac&amp;rev_05">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
      <filters>
        <filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider"        checkdevice="false"/>
        <filter cat="tunerdevice"     name="FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner1"					checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="capture"         name="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture1"   checkdevice="true"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
		<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice"	sinkpin="0"/>
		<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice"     sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"		sinkpin="0"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

Huygens settings worked for my MediaPortal. I have

<capturecard commercialname="Dvico FusionHDTV Express 3.60" capturename="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8852&amp;subsys_d50018ac&amp;rev_02">

<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft ATSC Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="FusionHDTV, Transport Stream Capture" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

Correction. The card is detected but it crashes while scanning for channels. The first three are properly scanned but it crashes while finding the fourth.

I finally got this working. I had to do the following:

1. Have a separate ntsc tuner with harwdware mpeg installed. Otherwise the fusion express card did not seem to work. This allowed me to get video with the settings above, which I copied from Huygens and double-checked with GraphEdit.

2. Stop using the Nvidia Audio Codec which worked for my other card but not for this one. I am now use ffdshow. I still use the Nvidia Video codec.
