have chris pascoe intrested but he is very busy so could be a while before he looks into it
the new card has a new hardware id  last 2 digits is 98 not 78
am working with a mate who has a revision 1.1 card
if i change the v4l-dvb haidware id to mine
linux will pick it up and install the driver
but can not find the frontend (using mythtv)
what is the command that you usb to give all the info about the card
so i can check against an working one 
and maybe pick whats differnet

cheers sorry if sounding like a newbie
as on an other forum the is now counting me 4 people who have bought this for mythtv going on chris's work
not knowing dvico have changed the card

Wow, lucky the card I bought last week was a rev1.1!  I would imagine
the rev2.0 card would be using different firmware - I assume you've
correctly installed the firmware for the rev1.1 card?  If that doesn't
work, you could try extracting the firmware from the Windows driver,
assuming that's where Chris got it from in the first place.

This is what dmesg reports when I initialise the card:

xc2028 2-0061: Loading firmware for type=BASE F8MHZ (3), id
   0000000000000000.
xc2028 2-0061: Loading firmware for type=D2620 DTV7 (88), id
   0000000000000000.
xc2028 2-0061: Loading SCODE for type=DTV7 ZARLINK456 SCODE (22000080),
   id 0000000000000000.
xc2028 2-0061: Device is Xceive 3028 version 1.0, firmware version 2.7

With this firmware:

$ ls /lib/firmware/
total 48K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   92 2008-02-23 11:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 8.0K 2008-02-23 23:38 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.9K 2006-01-10 02:21 dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.4K 2007-11-21 22:51 dvb-usb-bluebird-02.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.0K 2007-11-20 01:15 xc3028-dvico-au-01.fw

What does yours say?

Cheers,
Adam.

If Chris is looking into it then that's good, I'm not exactly an expert
in these sorts of things.

If nothing is showing up in dmesg then the driver mustn't be trying to
load the firmware - I suspect that getting the driver to load the
firmware, and finding the right firmware, will be enough to get it to
work - they don't usually change that much between hardware revisions.

Cheers,
Adam.

well it looks like i could be stuffed
just found the new windows driver and they call it a dual 5

heres a snip of the driver.inf

%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Dual.DeviceDesc%     =Bluebird2.DVBT_NANO2, 
USB\VID_0FE9&PID_DB78      ; DUAL4 (XC3028+Zarlink)
%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Hawk1.DeviceDesc%    =Bluebird2.DVBT_HAWK1, 
USB\VID_0FE9&PID_DB80      ; Firehawk1 (DNOS504Z)
%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Dual5.DeviceDesc%    =Bluebird2.DVBT_NANO_DIB1, 
USB\VID_0FE9&PID_DB98      ; DUAL5 (DIB7070PA x 2)
note Dual 5  thats my card

link to driver
ftp://ftp.dvico.com/Products/FusionHDTV/Down/FusionHDTV3.66.01Web.exe

looks like we could  be stuffed
