Re: TV under 9..10

Card in slot
So it looks like ALL I have to do now is
run lspci to find card info
find the driver in DVB dir (if its there in for my kernel)
maybe upgrade kernel
recompile kernel
run ?scan [with tranmiter name] to put the channels in a list (current?)
run something else to process data from above (to put channels into card
firmware?)
repeate 2 steps above every time channels are changed
If I want to record there are even more steps

May have missed something, does sound a bit involved compared to Windows & Mac

Card in slot
turn on PC
click a few dialogues (with CD in)
Watch / Record programs

So why is it that almost every other feature on Linux is soooo easy (and there
by default) but TV is hard enough to keep even better than average users away

Hi All

Can / Is it really this hard to get a TV card to work.

I have a fairly old (Hauppauge) Nova-T PCI Card which has served me very well
for years (Win98-Win2K-XPPro) B U T now I'm trying to make a permanent move to
Linux (ubuntu 9.10 desktop) I cant even get the sys to "see" the card

Anyone who has managed this preferably without having to re-compile the kernel
(can you imagine getting anyone to re-compile XP :-<)

PLEASE



Hello,
just some references to get you in the right track, if you haven't been
there already:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_PCI

From the quick look at those articles (with instructions) from links
above, it should work.

Regards
