DVICO DVB-T Dual Express2 and media_build

[Greg Bell]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to get my DVICO DVB-T Dual Express2 card working on an 
Ubuntu 12.10 system with the 3.5.0 kernel.

lspci tells me it's a "Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23885 PCI Video and 
Audio Decoder".  Numerically, that's 14f1:8852.

However on insmod cx23885, the driver tells me it doesn't know what 
the card is.  card=11 and card=9 both allow the driver to initialize, 
but I cannot scan channels.  The Wiki 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Dual_Express2) 
seems to indicate the someone got it working, but the Making It Work 
instructions are not clear.

I downloaded and built "media_build", in the hopes that CX23885 driver 
was more current.  Sorry, I'm not a kernel dev so I'm a bit clueless 
on this part.  If I try to insmod the driver that lives in 
media_build, I get a "-1 Invalid parameters" error.  I'm hesitant to 
"make install" them all over my /lib tree.  Is that necessary to just 
to test?

Thanks,
Greg Bell
