I have a Gemini TV tuner card which Kubuntu wont recognize. lspci doesn't show it at all, lsusb shows it as blank ad a VirtualBox install detects it as "TVBOX".

The lists that you put up look like a listing of your hardware. Virtual machines have this problem where sometimes its a mess for the operating system in the machine to know what hard ware you have my suggestion is not elegant but have you heard of vlc it can capture tv tuner out puts and so on. If its a problem with the VM's(VM = virtual machine) drivers or something then the only way to fix it is to install linux and if it still does not work then I will help pulling up drivers or patches to get your card working for you.

Hi,

Sorry for not being clear. I do have an independent install. I was using VirtualBox to try running Windows inside Kubuntu.
And I already tried VLC, it doesn't list my capture device

Does you card support linux either by the OEM drivers or open sourced drivers?

If no to both then you may be out of luck.
