[QUOTE="Paul S, post: 132804, member: 20531"] In Linux the "drivers" are usually part of the Linux kernel, except for new ones. To enable them you may need to compile your own kernel, but this is really not that big of a deal. They are loaded as modules. The older Dvico cards had the same HD chip as my pcHDTV HD-3000, and used the same module. I had to manually load the module by typing in: [CODE]modprobe cx88-dvb[/CODE] If it has an analog tuner, it may have a BT878 chip. This would use the bttv module. You can add things to the module when you load it. I have an older card with a BT848 chip and a Philips tuner. When I load the module I enter this: [CODE]modprobe bttv tuner=2 card=3 radio=1[/CODE] My card has an FM tuner, default is radio=0 (no FM tuner). Somewhere I found a listing for all of the cards/tuners and the corresponding numbers needed for input. Just Google for it, if you need to. Your card may also need firmware loaded, to work correctly.
