Hi all

Since days I try to install my TV card:
description: Multimedia video controller
product: CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder
vendor: Conexant

By loading the driver I use the following card:
card=57 -> ADS Tech Instant Video PCI

dmesg shows:
cx88/2: cx2388x MPEG-TS Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded
cx88[0]: subsystem: 12ab:4700, board: ADS Tech Instant Video PCI [card=57,insmod option]

How can I get this card running?
Any help is very much appreciated.

You don't have the correct codecs for the mutlimedia TV task, I assume it needs something like Divx or the like.

Go to How to Install Multimedia Codecs in Linux - Enjoy your movies! - Softpedia or do a google search for other sites that deal with the distribution flavour of your linux, and load the codecs.

Once installed correctly, you should be happily watching your multimedia.
