Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T
I’ve finally got my TV card working under Linux and it only took me just over 3 months and several kernel upgrades. I am now running Linux kernel 2.6.15 which I hadn’t even realised was out yet.
Installing things would be a lot easier if the hardware vendors always had ways of uniquely identifying what they were selling. Hauppauge Nova-T PCI can refer to cards containing any of 3 different chipsets (mine was a Conexant), that get sold with the same name.
Here’s a HOWTO explaining the installation process.
For anyone else that is trying to tune in digital channels around the Plymouth area, the Caradon Hill transmitter was picked up when I used the linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0 scan tool (util/scan/scan) with the Oxford (util/scan/dvb-t/uk-Oxford) settings.
