Drivers (probably windows) in linux with my A280LE TV tuner.


I've just bought a winfast A280LE tv tuner (and video card) and want to get it working fully in ubuntu (breezy badger). I am currently dual booting with windows to use my tv tuner. It has a winfast cinema box and a video card (Geforce 5200 ti graphics) which i can (i'm pretty sure i can get drivers for it) and VIVO. The problem is that the tuner works fine under windows however there are no (as far as i know) native linux drivers. My question is how (if possible) can i emulate windows drivers in linux, and also if Mythtv may support this tuner. Thanks for any help.

Not quite the same card but it is the most similar one in the HCL. Try some of their solutions to get the tuner working.
