Or even how to check the device to see what drivers I should be looking for?
Run lspci as root to show what devices are connected to the PCI bus. On my computer, information on the TV tuner card is shown on a line beginning with "Multimedia video controller".
From what I gather is not supported. Call ViXS to find out if they have an experimental source code that you can try to compile for your kernel.
Ah well thank you for that.. I did some more digging after figuring out exactly what it was and came to the same conculsion.
My other question is basicly the same. I acctually have 2 TV Tuners.. I have that ViXS one we know isn't supported. But I also have a Hauppauge HVR-950 usb tuner.
The HVR-950 is currently supported with the new kernel and all.. However I couldn't get mine to work out of the box. So I had the people on the Ubuntu forums trying to help me get it working. However I think I broke the driver support for it now and I can't get any help figuring out how to revert back to start over.
