Thanks to the details above I was able to get my Dvico Fusion Dual Digital 4 working on Mythbuntu Trusty 14.04.3 . The problem was solved at kernel 3.19. Problem is related to cxusb.c where the #define MAX_XFER_SIZE 80 was changed from 64 to 80. Details of change are at LinuxTV.org:

I looked through the ubuntu kernels for the updated cxusb.c and found it looked ok after 3.19.0 .
To fix my Mythbuntu Trusty I loaded linux-headers-3.19.0-47 and it all worked.

I wanted to update comments here so that anyone else doing searches for the problem might find a quick answer as there are not very many search results relating to Dvico card and later kernel.
