More info:
I looked up to verify that I was correct which standard I should be
using and I should be using the ATSC as shown here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB
DVB-S (Digital Broadcasting over Satellite)
DVB-S2 (Digital Broadcasting over Satellite Version 2)
DVB-C (Digital Broadcasting over Cable Networks)
DVB-T (Digital Broadcasting over Terrestrial RF - i.e. with a normal TV
antenna)
ATSC (The U.S. standard for Digital Broadcasting over Terrestrial
Networks)
My card is a Fusion Gold 5 Plus ATSC standard card which worked fine
with window scanning broadcast digital stations.
What linux command can I run that would show what my computer has
recognized as my tuner card? Somewhere in my device files I should find
something with the "Divco" or "Fusion" in them?
