Just realised I accidentally bought an unsupported (out-of-the-box) TV tuner card for my new HTPC (I meant to get the Dual Digital 4) and have been having some amount of grief, especially as I can't return it!
After finding this website:
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/
I tried installing his custom driver with in Mythbuntu 9.04 (64bit) which would not let me complete the installation, possibly as I already tried installing with the guide on here (which installed fine): http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
I was still not able to tune however, but then I found this HERE (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers) :
If you are using a Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Pro with Ubuntu 9.04 and you can not get a video lock with MythTV (no video) you may see this message when running dmesg:
xc2028 0-0061: Error: firmware xc3028-v27.fw not found
If this is the case you are missing the firmware needed for this card. Please refer to the following link: How to Obtain the Firmware
Which I found was missing, and I followed the link, and i got the firmware ok.
Now I can watch tv via the terminal using something like (taken from HERE (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616103)):
scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/au-Adelaide > channels.conf
sudo cp channels.conf /etc && cp channels.conf ~/.tzap
tzap -c /etc/channels.conf -r "Ten ONE"
leave open and from a new terminal window as a normal user type
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
But now I'm not sure how to get this new stuff back into MythTV!!?!?
When I try adding a device (either the analogue or digital) it has a few options which show DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Pro, which i then select. But as input it only allows Composite or S-Video, when I want Antenna.
Then later in MythTV when I'm trying to find sources it says it can't open the card!!!
Any tips? I've almost followed every link I could find for the DVB-T Pro and Linux, and still haven't go to the bottom of it.
Thanks for your help,

PS I think I'm going to have some more fun with the remote!
