Sorry, I don't have a dvico card, so I haven't tried JMG's driver.
In my defense, I didn't say it was supported, I said there was a driver.  :-)
(and I don't post in base64 which creates problems, hint hint)

I am using Jason's cx88 driver on 7.0/amd64, it compiles easily and doesn't panic.
The latest version claims to support:

DViCO FusionHDTV 5 Gold (ATSC)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1100 (DVB-T)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1100 LP (DVB-T)
Leadtek WinFast DTV2000H (DVB-T)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1300 (DVB-T)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-3000 (DVB-T)
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000 (DVB-T)
pcHDTV HD-3000 (ATSC)
pcHDTV HD-5500 (ATSC)
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T (DVB-T)

So I guess we have *two* drivers for the DViCO 5.

(I checked the announcement (from Sept), it does use the word "support".  :-)  )
