The FusionHDTV 5 Lite works without installing anything extra, if you're using the latest FC4 kernel. The key is that you need to force the dvb-bt8xx driver to load *before* the bttv driver, or strange things happen. The easiest way to make that happen is to remove the "alias char-major-81 bttv" line from /etc/modprobe.conf and create a file called 'dvb.modules' in /etc/sysconfig/modules/', with the contents:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx

Make sure to make it executable. Works for me anyhow (my master backend now has one of these and an AirStar HD5000 in it).
