The signal does not work on the Fusion Gold.  Just ignore it.  If you see a
signal lock, the card works.  I remember the author of the driver posted
something somewhere about why he chose to always set signal to zero.
Something to do with not liking what he saw coming from the card.  Do a
channel scan in myth and you should have no problems.  I have the same card
with OTA and it works great.  Just make sure you are using the latest
version of Myth because it is a pain to setup channels in the older
versions.  It is a snap on the latest version.
