I have obtained an ATI TV Wonder Pro (with ATI Remote) and am looking to install and use it on my linux machine (Suse 10)
After some research I have discovered that ATI does not properly support Linux. Would have been a good peice of research *before* I sprung for the card. =)
Anyways, now I'm reading all kinds of things about various chipsets, various drivers and various applications... I'm very confused.
Has anyone been able to get the card to work? And is there an easy guide one can follow?

I myself have an ATI TV Wonder VE and it works well with TVTime. I did have a problem wit the video being gray and channels off by 1. This problem was documented on the TVTime website with a quick 1 line fix. Give it a shot... The only thing I cant figure out how to do is record...not even sure if tvtime lets you. Im still learning.
BTW, Im using Fedora Core 4 on an old DELL Optiplex GX150. (PIII 1.4Ghz i815 chipset 512 MB Ram).
Well, this is where im a little unclear. the bttv module was installed with the installation of Fedora. I assume it recognized the tv card with the initial install.
if i do an lsmod as root, i see the bttv module numerous times.
If you dont see it, try modprobe -i bttv
that should load it if it was specified as a module when the kernel was built.
The colours are kind of washed, it's going to take some tweaking...
I don't get any sound... I know the speaker plug is suppoed to loop back to the soundcard's line-in...
I'm pretty sure I've done that... I'll have to play with it.
Im glad to hear that the card is working for you. Just out of curiosity, when you first got it working were the channels in fact off by one and grey?
As for the remote, i don't know. I got the cheapo version of the TV Wonder so it didnt come witha remote. I'd be interested in how it works out for you though.

No, everything was proper... my colour's off and I'm having a hard time getting it to look like my real television does... but it's close enough I guess...
