I'm working on the DViCO FusionHDTV 5 USB.  I'm still waiting on the 
tuner and demodulator docs from DViCO.  Once I have that it shouldn't 
be too long before I release a driver.  Currently with the docs that 
I have been provided I can upload the firmware, turn on and off the 
device, and read the remote control buttons.
If someone would like to document the lgdt3302 / lgdt3303 ATSC VSB/QAM 
demodulator and the lg-h06xf tuner from the Linux source that would 
help since I don't know when I'm going to get that information from 
DViCO.  And currently I don't have the time to try to understand the 
Linux sources, though that's probably what I'm going to end up doing.
