Hi Guys,<br><br>I have scratched nearly all the hair on my head over this, help will be greatly appreciated.<br>I need to setup a TV card to view TV on my ubuntu 9.10 box, I have done all the setup but i still cannot get the tuner to work.<br>
Output from dmesg is as follows <br><br>16.056107] Linux video capture interface: v2.00<br>[   16.131416] EXT3 FS on sda3, internal journal<br>[   16.251780] bttv: driver version 0.9.18 loaded<br>[   16.251786] bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture<br>

Has anyone been able to hack watching TV on linux and if yes, where am i going wrong. Or is this TV card completely not compatible with linux. What TV card should I use?<br>
