I am really struggling to get my DVICO HYBRID card to work
I will have a look at that forum, I would love to know how you did it!
I am pretty sure the drivers are not right because I get an error
message in dmesg output that the subsystem ID was not detected
$ dmesg [abridged]
[   11.390599] cx88[0]: Your board has no valid PCI Subsystem ID and
thus can't
[   11.390602] cx88[0]: be autodetected.  Please pass card= insmod
option to
[   11.390603] cx88[0]: workaround that.  Redirect complaints to the
vendor of
[   11.390604] cx88[0]: the TV card.  Best regards,
[   11.390605] cx88[0]: -- tux
[   11.390611] cx88[0]: Here is a list of valid choices for the
card= insmod option:
[   11.390614] cx88[0]:card=0 -> UNKNOWN/GENERIC
[   11.390616] cx88[0]:card=1 -> Hauppauge WinTV 34xxx models
[   11.390619] cx88[0]:card=2 -> GDI Black Gold
[   11.390622] cx88[0]:card=3 -> PixelView
[   11.390624] cx88[0]:card=4 -> ATI TV Wonder Pro
etc etc - my card is number 46

Thanks so the dvico dual 4's work a treat eh, is that the same for the
PCIe and PCI? I know one is meant to be faster though can any real
time benefit be seen.

Thanks guys and girls any other tried and tested as MSY is nearly
always out of stock

I have two Dvico dual 4's for 4 tuners that multiplex so I can in fact
record 8 channels if 4 of them are on the same multiplex. They work
great however unfortunately I think you still need to drop in some
firmware but I think they are now supported in the kernel even the
rev2's. Even if they are not compiling the drivers are straight
forward.

Howdy,

The Asus U3100 USB tuners work great under Ubuntu, and with MythTV. 
They're able to do full 1080P HDTV too!

Hi...

I use a Pinnacle 72e (DiB7000) and this works out of the box from ubuntu 
intrepid (8.10) onwards... any earlier then you need to apply kernel patches 
etc... This is however (72e) only a single channel receiver and it might be 
wise (I wasn't!) to get a dual channel receiver then you can watch & record at 
the same time!...  

If you happen to be on IRC then ask this question on #linuxtv

TV Tuner card for Ubuntu 9.04 amd64

2009-08-25 Thread aviper4u
Hi,

Want to use a TV Tuner card with Ubuntu, apparently this is no problem
with MythTV though on the following page

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Supported_Hardware

The guide talks about plugging in the card then running commands to
see if it compatible?

I want to know if it compatible before i purchase it :)  Is there any
other avenues i can pursue?

Thanks
