on my fusionhdtv lite, the analog showed up as a different entry in /dev (/dev/video<span style="font-style: italic;">n</span> vs /dev/dvb/adapter<span style="font-style: italic;">n</span> ) so i figured it was a driver issue.
<br>but like i said the presence of mpeg encoding for the analog should make unified drivers possible...drivers that just guess how to tune and return a mpeg stream no matter what.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/11/06,

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I don't know if I can agree that it's
a driver issue – the drivers are perfectly capable of doing either
digital or analog video. Myth simply doesn't offer a way to manage
those two interfaces together intelligently. PVR-150 cards may be
somewhat inexpensive, but slots are often at a premium. I'd rather
have two DVICo Fusion cards and be able to have more possibities, than have
separate analog and digital tuners. Given the enormously complex
configurations that Myth allows one to create, I'm surprised this hasn't
been implemented yet. </span></font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">i think that's a driver
issue...get the driver maintainers to merge the functionality and myth will
probably play nicely with it.<br>
i think that could be done though...the fusion cards have a mpeg encoder for
the analog channels and they pull mpeg from digital feeds, so it ought to be
possible to make a driver that simply returns mpeg for everything. <br>
(disclaimer: i know nothing about linux driver development but i'd sure as hell
use these drivers if someone made them and needed a tester).</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The
Fusion Gold (and Lite) are capable of recording Analog channels.
Myth supports it as a V4L card. However, I can't seem to have both
HDTV Digital and Analog at the same time. Myth seems to think
they're separate cards, and that causes problems when Myth tries to do
something with the DVB and "analog" sides of the card at the same
time.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Most
people seem to be using multiple cards for analog and digital
(HDTV). But I would really like to take full advantage of the
possibilities available on the Fusion. I only use
analog TV sporadically so it seems silly to buy an expensive PVR-150 card when
the Fusion should do what I need on its own. Has anyone gotten this to
work? </span></font></p>
