[mythtv-users] DVICo Fusion Gold ... way to use Analog AND DTVfrom the same card?

[Michael Freeman]

on my fusionhdtv lite, the analog showed up as a different entry in /dev
(/dev/videon vs /dev/dvb/adaptern ) so i figured it was a driver issue.
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.
