I`ve scanned for channels with tvtime and kdetv


On win$hit works just fine, but I don`t want to enter in that junk only to watch tv

Hi - I sympathise with you. I tried this a while back and didn't manage to get my TV card working. Rather than make this a long post it might be worth reading this. In theory it should be possible to get a tv card with Bt848 and Bt878 chipsets working with few problems. In practice, I think it's more difficult than that.

Please let us all know how you get on. If you can get a tv card working then you've done well.
