More progress-
Now Live Tv comes on. I get black screen, no audio, no video, but I can change channels....

I'm not convinced your device is tuning properly. It wouldnt be the first time we've seen flakey Dvico drivers.

For the missing audio/video, double check you've got valid decoders selected in the Setting->Decoders screen. This will only help if the device is tuning correctly though.

More progress-
Live Tv working. Had to set video decoder to EVR renderer, MPC decoder for video, AC3 Filter for audio. Now working on EPG & recording...

Got Schedules direct free trial working & done some recording. Works great! Only issue so far is if I reboot my PC, NPVR won't work right unless I run the Fusion software and shut it down. I guess it has to initialize the Tuner or load some driver? Is there any way around this? Command line to load the BDA drivers without running Fusion software???

I think this is some quirk of the Dvico drivers. No other devices require anything special like that. The reality is the drivers are supposed to take card of all their own initialization when an application attempts to use the device. In this case, it looks like the Fusion devices need some special bit of something unknown from the Fusion software - I have no idea what that might be though, so I couldnt replicate the same in NextPVR without this info.
