I have an old DViCO Fusion and an old Leadtek PCI card. Both worked
out of the box with MythDora and Mythbuntu. There is no discernable
difference in reception between the two. The author of the DViCO
drivers, Chris Pascoe, is at UQ
<http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/> and is very
helpful. He borrowed my nephew's card and returned it a couple of
weeks later with a driver! The referenced web page illustrates the
hazard of buying any new tuner. The manufacturers change the chip set
without changing the model number of the card.
