neonsox Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 HI group, I'm new and have a few tweaks to iron out in Linux. One of them is CPU throttling (another topic) and another is this TV card. I've read through the documentation on how to set it up and it confuses me. Windows reports the card as "BrookTree WinTV PAL B-G" but the website refers to it as the Hauppauge WinTV-GO PCI board with the 878 board design. Well whatever it is, I can't get it to work in Mandrake 10.1 Official. Can anybody tell me where to begin or some command-line stuff I can use to figure things out? Thanks in advance.

devries Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Go to the Mandriva Control Center, Hardware, TV card and set it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsox Posted August 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 That doesn't work. I tried to use the utility but still don't get a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 could you tell us if you got some error messages along the way? take a look e.g. in your /var/log folder for error logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsox Posted August 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) There are many files and subfolders in this folder. Which would I be looking at in specific? Edited August 7, 2005 by neonsox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sprinthead Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have one of these TV cards, and THE best TV app to use by far, is TV Time ! Simply su to root, and do a urpmi tvtime , install the package, and watch it magically appear in the Mandy menu. Fire up TV Time, and voila ! it simply works !! Hope that helps ! Oh by the by ... this card absolutely SUCKS in Windows with the Hauppauge software ( I use KastorTV in Win ! ). It works waaaay better in Linux ... plus it's easier and quicker to setup in Lin than Win !! Go figure ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
