<P>I am trying to get my Dvico Fusion 5 Gold working under FC4 2.6.14 with analog and QAM256 unencrypted digital cable. I have verified the card works in Windows, and using command line utilities like dvbstream and tvtime. My cable company, Cox Communications in Phoenix, does not seem to broadcast any PSIP info, so I expect some manual configuration will be necessary.</P>
<P>I am assuming it is a channel setup issue, but I have tried doing full scans, individual transport scans, and manually editing the mythconverg database. The frontend times out after 15 seconds when both analog and digital channels are set as the start channel.</P>
<P>I have data in the dtv_multiplex, channel, and videosource tables. I don't have data in the dvb_channel or dvb_pids tables. Is that a show stopper, even for analog? I have found a few "how-tos" on adding digital channels that aren't scanned, but that is not my entire problem. I don't seem to be able to tune and display anything. I am using us-cable for my frequency table, but I have doubts that it has the correct frequencies. But I have tried to manually set those in the database, too.</P>
<P>Below is the log entries for the frontend:</P>
