Linux and TV

Not_Dead · 04-11-2011, 01:48 PM

Hi there,

I'm trying to move from Windows to Linux, and one of the main things I need is working television. I'd like to ask: Is it possible? If so, what kinds of Linux can deal best with this? What exactly should I do? Should a newbie like me try this at all? I don't know if it helps, but my TV card is KWorld Global TV Terminator PVR-7131RF and the program I used to use for this on Windows was PVR Plus. Sorry for the wave of questions, but I'm completely raw at this

According to this, it looks like that card is supported in recent kernels. So you should be able to use whatever distribution you feel comfortable with.

Thank you for the quick reply and the info! I'll definitely try this.

I'd suggest using KDE based distro, there is a video player in KDE called Kaffeine. It is by far the best and easiest to set up TV cards on.
