</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;d tried with Kaffeine but nothing came of it. tvtime had been suggested but this came way after I&#39;d tried the other options. I must admin I&#39;m a little sceptical to try this  - since so far, all I can get is the device propertied when I list USB devices &#39;lsusb&#39; or checking the Hardware Profile but I can locate it like under /dev/.<br clear="all">




</div><div><br></div><div>My plan-last resort was, if I could locate the device, then I&#39;d find a way to share it to a VM and the rest will be sorted by Windows. The greater concern is, I haven&#39;t heard very positive words about these tuners.  How can Linux not have TV?????</div>
