Not familiar with TV tuners (will be in the near future I hope) but I did find this...don't know if it will help you, but it might give you some ideas...

I believe Pinnacle puts that tv stick out.If thats the case its probably not supported(some are but not all).I have a brand new Pinnacle digital/analog hd stick(was a gift)thats not supported also.Its the only reason I keep xp on my laptop.The mythtv site always up to date info on whats working and not.Ill See if i can dig anything up its been awhile since I checked on the tv stick I have.


edit:maybe I spoke too soon Seems its on the above link.But i see mine isn't yet supported yet I have the 880e chip I think.

i have looked at that site before but i dnt know how to compile the driver and set it up it has been awhile since i have used linux so any ideas

Someone better than myself in compiling from source will have to help there Hawks...but at least ya got a shot at getting it to work...just hang in here and somebody will be thru pretty soon...Good Luck!

Thank you all,soon I just bought an usb tv tuner(kworld plus tv analog usb stick pvr-tv 305u)and I was looking for a linux driver and found this post.
Hawks-SOAD if you downloaded already the driver and it is in the tarball format(package) it's really so simple to install it.This is my way how I compile and install bz2 package drivers:
I extract the content to a desktop folder,open the folder and inside of it open in terminal.All you have to do after is to type in

Code: Select all

make

and in the end just

Code: Select all

sudo make install

.
Just don't forget to use sudo in the end because you need to be a superuser to install it.
Good luck and keep us in touch.

Have a look at this: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document ... bttv/Cards
The newest kernel may have support for it.

Thats stanca for the info I'll try to see if it works now

cheers

Successful Install will test when i get home

stanca i knew how to do what you said but i was downloading the wrong file which didn't have a make file in it

cheers for the help guys
