FYI, I just received the DViCO FusionHDTV5 USB Gold today along with a proper antenna. I'm trying to get DViCO to cough up the documentation right now. Basically it seems that you need to download the bluebird firmware to the device, which will cause the device to initialize and expose the ugen endpoint(s). Hopefully I can get the docs. After that it should be pretty straight forward since there will be no need to muck around with kernel stuff. -- Anish Mistry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEj3jwxqA5ziudZT0RAjKRAKC4rsZD8R432Gjk0PSk03bjgk3H3gCgsjSi sK/smJSpwav9cMje5UPdNsk= =Oeom -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
