Same problem too! Same device but for fedora 14. On 4/24/11, Mike Muraguri <mickie.mic@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi guys,
Sometime back I got a LightWave USB TV/AV Device which comes with honestech TVR 2.5 software. This device works well in Windows. But for sometime - I've tried to make it work in Linux - Ubuntu 10.04 and openSUSE 11.1 & 11.3 to not success. I've also been researching n this but there isn't much on this device. It's not listed under the TV Tuners recognized under Linux and not listed under /dev/. Trying to install the software with Wine & Crossover, the software installs but fails at installing the drivers.
Device Details Product: Vimicro TV USB2.0 Manufacturer: Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.
Anyone who has experienced this before? I'd prefer USB Tuners for use on laptops & desktops. However, PCI isn't out of the question. My use is simple TV, Radio and good reception in and out of the country. I's also like to know about availability in Nairobi. Tanks.
