Hi all, I bought an external tv card (USB) a year ago. I have been trying to make it work on my laptop (currently running fedora 14) but on running lspci, I don't see the device. I have a virtual box hosting windows XP and it is recognized on it. Before you ask, I have 'googled' and checked out linux forums unsuccessfully. Has anyone out there encountered a similar situation and sorted it out? Help. Top of the day to you all. -- __________________________________________________________________________ Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony.

You are supposed to run lsusb not lspci. what's the model out the card? I once had an intex usb tv and I couldn't manage to to get it running on Linux. Find out its id from lsusb and search for its support. On Oct 14, 2011 7:02 AM, "Eva Kimathi" <evakimathi@gmail.com> wrote:

Linux and TV cards - one reason people move out of Linux, every new release manages to break support for TV cards

Yeah, even developers can't keep fixing issues every 6 months. Linux is yet to be usable for the non geeks -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Remote and stuff? In Linux, you can aconfigure any distro in any way you like, hence invalidating the notions of a specific "media edition"
