There is an icon in the system tray called BDA TV Monitor. I closed it and stopped it from loading up at start-up via msconfig tweak. Appears the BDA TV Monitor is from an old Hauppauge TV card I had in the machine at one time.

Yes that icon appeared when i had Windows XP and used the video grabber
and when i turned it off the video grabber would not work

Is there Any way to get The BDA Tv Monitor Working on linux

so i guess its a Hauppauge recorder
