Don't know about the Fusion card, but I use an Hauppauge NOVA-T with
MythTV on Debian Linux without any hassles here in Australia.
Channel tuning and LiveTV are excellent, and the included IR receiver
and remote work like a charm (though the remote repeat rate could be
higher).
I had to slightly modify the budget-ci module in the kernel when I
installed the card to get all the buttons on the remote working (the
author of the module wrote it for a more limited remote), but it's easy
to do.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
Regards,
Johan.
